OMG I actually managed to make a hollow bead. I am sooooo pleased. There were bits of turquoise glass pinging about my ears, my main rod ran out shortly after it started (the bead is HUGE), I went for a similar colour which promptly fell on the floor and I was left plugging the holes with whatever I had to hand!!! You can tell I had fun making it

I think it's still hollow but it's quite heavy - maybe I just made very think walls!!!
I photographed it before I took it off the mandrel because I was convinced it would just crumble as I pulled it off but it came off as easy as anything.

Sorry about the size of the phot (I told you it was HUGE!!!)
