Lentil Bead Pendant

Lentil Pendant / 3/4" dia. copper 22 g,
copper wire 18 g

Without a plan or design, I decided to draw two circles on a scrap sheet of 22 g. copper (3/4" or 20 mm dia.). With my circle template, I drew 7 smaller circles within each (#35 bit). Since I liked it so far, I continued to brainstorm what to do next. I punched out the two discs, dapped, hammered for texture and sanded the edges flat. Yes, it will be a lentil bead. Another first for me to make. After hard-soldering the two together, I laid it on paper to sketch out three options for the bail. The real challenge was balancing the bead on it's edge in the fire brick and also balancing the hanging wire onto the top with the second-hand tweezers. The easy/soft solder went well.  I rather like this one.
