see reference tag for placement
use pick tool (deformation tool) 
to rotate some of the elements
when making your cluster


I used the feathers & element 47 listed above
to cover the base of the main tube


Hint: to check for stray pixels from any of the above layers,
add a new raster layer above the white background layer
flood fill black. Use eraser tool to erase any extra pixels
eg. element 88
Delete black layer


Close or delete the white background layer. 
If you wish to resize, do so now.


Add copyright, license & url of image
Add name
merge visible, crop 'merged opaque'
& save as a PNG



I hope you enjoyed making your precious creation!
