Ack! I just wrote a nice post in reply here and I accidentally deleted it.
Woops! Anyway, it went something like this:
When dragon flames are too big for torches, I do this:
Take a space gun (black or brown work nice) and turn it barrel up.

Place a flower petal (yellow or red look good) inverted with stud in the gun
barrel.

Now, take a castle helmet plume, preferably either a single-medium one or a
triple one (yellow or red look nice) and stick it into the hole in the

Ta-da! A minifig torch blowing in the wind! :)
To seach for parts like this, the Lugnet partsref

great. You can search by description. Once you get a part number, you can
then look up which sets have it in which colors, or you can enter the part
number into a Bricklink search (http://www.bricklink.com/) and see if anyone
is selling just the element you want.
Cheers!
