The bulb parts of the light bulbs,  feet and beaks of the birds were then painted with Pigment Fix mixed with gold metallic pigment. It is important to mix small quantities of the pigment fix/powder combination as it dries quickly and can not be saved for subsequent projects. I did not listen to my own council and had a lot left over which I then used to add splashes to the background. 

I adhered the bulbs and sparrows in place and then added Turtle Green wax to the brids and Silver to the light. A little Gold metallic wax was then added to both the bulbs and cog areas of the birds before finally adding my title with a sticker from my stash. I have to say I love all the layers and texture on this piece and now just have to find it a home.
