I wouldn't call it a steep learning curve but even with all the stuff online once you dig through it doesn't really start to make sense until you put it to use. The Affinity software was harder to come to grips with, I haven't yet, but there is a lot of online help for it and good vids.
I didn't design that cat it was on a free svg website so I can't take credit for the picture but I did load it in Affinity and manipulate it a bit. I am wondering why it looks wider on the board than on my computer screen.
My daughter wants a moon on it still and I think I will add a moth since it looks like the cat is looking at something. I will get to try out an inlay and hope it works out. I really need to think ahead because it seems one small missed item or mistake can ruin the entire project. Kind of like that dark streak. It really bugs me I missed how that would affect the design. I usually like stuff like that in wood. I think it adds character but I should have realized it would interfere with the picture.
Thanks. I have 30 or more various panels I hope to do something with and sell at a local craft bazaar or farmers market! I have to pay for this beast quickly!
