Fall Soup

I was so glad to get my soup from Patty Miller.
She sent me such a beautiful copper pendant, some gorgeous coral rounds and czech glass. 
Her pendant and toggle were handmade by her, etched and patinaed and I really fell in love with the richness of the color.  


I wanted to create a warm piece with beautiful colors and I really love the resulting piece.


Thank you Patty!
I hope you all enjoy hopping around and visiting soups today.
Thanks Lori for putting the whole thing together!
I had so much fun with my soup and I'm looking forward to the next installment!


Be sure to stop by Lori's blog for the list, and by Patty's website for some beautiful copper components.
Have a great weekend!

    I agree...it's a perfect fall design! Your metalsmithing skills are truly amazing and I love seeing how just a bail can change up the whole look of a pendant. Can't wait to see what you come up with as you keep learning! :)
