Oh wow, I've probably bumped into and chatted with you in the past -- I love watching the glass work at RenFest in MN! Small world (although not as small as the story you told about talking to the guy when you were 7 ).

You ever work with Malcom Potek? He's the one I've taken a few classes from. Fun hobby. Will never forget to always POOP -- Propane, Oxygen, Oxygen, Propane. https://potekglass.com/

I actually have a couple of icicles I made in one of the classes - when we put up our tree, I'll try to remember to take some pictures and post them. They're simple, but I like 'em.

Here is one of the glass icicles I made in my first class. I folded some colored glass (frit I think it was called?) in, but was pretty easy overall - heat the tube, and twist it. Was a lot of fun!
