I found this string of beads inside one of the many boxes.
I just had to do something with it before throwing it out. So, I made this,
It started to get interesting and I tatted a few more,
The above were tatted with shuttle and ball, except for the bottom-most, which was with shuttle only.
Then I continued some more and tried with two shuttles, with the result you can see below,
There is a lot more that can be done with this string of beads.
What? ... The clean-up? ... Did I say I wanted to clean-up the craft area?
Now, when did I say that?

Here is another photo before I close this topic. Tatted a couple of cloverleaves to the sample (with two shuttles).

There should be enough sample for you to try experimenting on your own.
There were requests for patterns, here and also on my Facebook page. Not sure how to prepare patterns for these because the stitch count will depend on the size of the strung beads. Some of the techniques that I have used for this experiment, besides the double-stitch and regular join, is the crocodile join, roll join and double-stitch on split chains.
