My Soup Is Here!

My soup is here! I got these from my partner Andrea Trank. I am lovin' the pearls she sent along w/ the  fabulous mop rings. I've taken a big step(for me) & poured them all together to start the simmering required of a soup.

Colour Inspiration Blog Hop

Copper Diem  threw a little blog hop handing out etsy treasuries as colour inspiration. I loved my treasury. All shades I already had in my studio, yay! As an added bonus I had the perfect orange enameled bead from my last mini swap w/ Valerie . I wanted big chunky charms w/ no 2 alike, so I looked through my stash w/o regard to material.This led me to the enameled bead, coral, horn & gemstones.I stayed w/ the big chunky theme & wire wrapped a stone donut for the clasp.I had a nice dark chain that I doubled for balance. I'm really happy w/ this bracelet & I predict it is going to be a much worn fave.Copper Diem has the list of the participants, head over & take a look!
