My partner has been learning to do traditional Lakota beadwork and the beads and needles are a very fun challenge to photograph.
The focal plane at 1:1 40mm at f/2.8 is far too narrow, and I haven't set up focus stacking software, so these are shot at f/11 and f/6 respectively, which in turn means using a tripod and a very bright light.

A pile of white beads, atop which sit a needle passing through a pink, yellow, and white bead. Small black fibers are visible poking up between some of the beads.
Yellow, pink, and white beads on a black mat. In the background, some more beads are neatly sorted into vials, on their side, closed.
