There is always something new to learn about Adobe Illustrator!  I look forward to experiment more with transparency, and recolor artwork with the editing wheel (which I had never used before).   I was not succesful in printing my image 'cause I am running out of ink!  I enjoyed the process, though.

 

 

This is my print, not quite what I was hoping for, but I'll replace it as soon as I refill my ink and have better paper for it.
