For round peyote, you bead around the stick. The needles are indeed teeny weeny. (if you have any experience of beeding needles, I use a #12, which is thicker than a hair, but not by much ... the thinness is both for getting through the holes in the beads, even with multiple thicknesses of thread, as well as so that the needly will be a little bit flexible.)

There is also a style called "flat peyote" which is done as a flat piece. These are usually not then sewn around anything ... they just are a flat piece of beadwork that is used in various ways. I do have an example of flat peyote already photographed for your enjoyment ...

This is a pair of earrings that look like eagle feathers. There are many variations of these around, but stylistcally I liked the pattern because it showed the splits and color variations that real eagle feathers have, and usually aren't illustrated.

I have these in a bunch of different colors. Purple, red, turqoise and blue. The pair that I wear regularly are two shades of turquoise, one translucent, the other opaque. I also have made pairs for friends in purple translucent/opaque and one with black substituted for the white, and red for the black, with reference to the pair shown here.

Most of the creative stuff I do these days is computer graphics and photography, but here's a few samples of a set of colored pencil drawings I did a couple years ago, just farting around with sketching characters (originals are about 8x10):

I didn't realize until I previewed this post that the few images I scanned were all bald men. Oh well.

Alan,
Is the one bottom right a self portrait?

The black paper makes the color jump and look very cool indeed.
