Hello Hollow

After several weeks of cranking beadsets of various kinds I worked up the courage this week to try hollow beads... my favorite but most challenging bead form. But I figured that my lampworking skills have recovered sufficiently to give it a whirl. Voila! Many wonderful hollow beads have appeared - capri blue, topaz and grass green. Amazingly it is simpler than I ever remembered. Perhaps the time off let something gel with the technique process in my brain. The capri works most easily, nice and sticky and stays warm without slumping. Topaz pretty easy too. Will post some pics in a few days.
