First shown is the exercise version. Good info!

Fish theme inspired me to create a fish design in repeat.  Used several techniques from this class including pathfinder, appearance panel and alignment tools.  Like the idea of using textures from the pattern library too but did not use one for this piece.

New to me was the idea of "effect/convert to shape" within the appearance panel and then how to manipulate it.

Thanks to Helen for her bite-size tips & tricks!  Great for exercising the digital mind!
