January 9th
-Copied merged 4 circle shape once (ctrl-shift-t)
-Resized copy slightly smaller and on more of a angle (tilt more for closed swirl, less for open swirl)
-Used ctrl-shift-alt-t shortcut multiple (40 or more) times to create a swirl
January 8th
-Added 3 slightly smaller circles tilted on an angle to original circle (used "ctrl shift t" keyboard shortcut, resized circles and placed them at an angle)
-Merged 4 circle shape (making shape only thing visible and right click on one of the layers, merge visible)

Before winter break

For next steps went into layer-layer style:
-Added slight drop shadow (50% at 120 degrees)
-Added bevel and emboss (inner bevel 100% depth, size 7px and soften 12 px; shading angle 120 degrees, altitude 30 degrees, both opacity 75%)
-Added contour and texture (crinkle texture, 207% and +18%)
