As for Kiki the cockatiel's leg, some UV curing resin held the new antlers in place :-)
Karen, not 2 minutes but an hour, needed to find new batteries for the UV torch...
Patina with ocre tint added to the white paint, then some permanent marker mixed red and black added with the cleaned brush.
Ready for Bambi's mama coming :-))
