Day 16 means that I'm officially halfway through the One-a-day challenge now. I hope you're having fun with it, because I am. Thanks to all the wonderful people who have been checking in on me. I really appreciate your visits and your comments, and I hope you'll stick with me. The copper portion of today's piece is both corrugated and foldformed. The accents and bale are of sterling silver. And a big thanks to those who advised me to patina the piece from Day 13. Here it is with an antique patina on it. The hammer marks stand out better, and I think it has a lot more depth and character this way. Time to make dinner and check out what's left of this pretty day. Go and have some fun this weekend!

This is also a favorite. I love what the "crunch/ripple" effect does to the look of the leaf and I take back the comment on the patina effect - I like this much better a much classier piece instead of a dress down.....REMARKABLE...
