I've never really taken the time to learn peyote stitch, but finally got down to it a couple months ago. This was a time consuming but fantastic project! Delica beads of violet/lt bronze comprise the background, with puffed hearts in seed beads pop up dimensionally. I haven't learned odd count yet, so to even one edge, I used a row of brick stitch. It's amazing-the brick disappears into the peyote, and is an exact match. I edged the piece with 15 gold charlottes and finished off with a bronze vintage style stamped flower button and peyote loop. The color is a bit washed out in the photo, but is very vibrant in person. This item is available in my etsy shop.
