Take a Stitch Tuesday 2014 - Stitches 97 and 98

Stitch 97 was the Shell Chain Stitch and Stitch 98 was the Beaded Shell Chain Stitch:

I tried the beaded variation three ways --- one bead per chain, two beads per chain and one bead every other chain. I think I like the one every other chain best...  Those are pale pink beads, although you would never know it once threaded onto that rose-colored perle!.

Another variation of a chain stitch that I like very much...
