I'm still struggling with making hollows, my best one was made on my hothead of many years ago!
I have a second question to the poll:
Do you all use a stringer

full~sized rod of glass?
Full size rod for sure. And I make hollows exactly the way that Tammy describes above, starting with the small spacer beads. My hollows are large, and they do end up with thickish walls. I'm okay with that though.
