#100daysofcirclesonpaper
During the summer, Amy completed one sketch every day for 100 days. The only prompt for this was to fill the circle on the paper that was exactly the size of an almond milk yogurt cup. 100 days and 100 circles later, the daily sketches range from fruit studies and abstract patterns, to floral designs and embroidery on paper.
