I bought Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher to go with Affinity Photo. I can use just a few of the things in Photo. I tried Designer and Publisher and can’t figure out how to make them work. The problem with Affinity is it’s not intuitive. And there’s no manual. I can go to youtube, but that means having youtube on my iPad while I try to work on the laptop. Bleah!
I’ve been putting new necklaces into my store, Deb Thuman Art http://www.DebThumanArt.com



Making jewelry is relaxing. I can forget about the world, and just work with color.
I put 126 more designs in my Spoonflower shop this week. https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/deb_thuman Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to get photos of my designs into the blog. To see the newest designs, go to my Spoonflower shop, click on “new” and the latest designs will appear first.
I’ve been working in the painting studio, and I’ve finally gotten two of my paintings photographed. Eventually, I’ll shoot the rest of the paintings.

I’m not good at realism, so I decided to push myself and paint one of my sunset photos. The painting does not look like the photo. For some reason, I kind of like how this came out.

I don’t work with solid backgrounds, so I gave that a try. I used my iridescent paint sticks for the design. The design means something to me, but I’d prefer not to share that. I’d rather hear what you think.
