Quilled Letter M and Gradation Swirl Tutorial

Yesterday I posted my quilled LOVE on facebook too. And I got a request, or you can say a challenge, from mbak Miya to make an inisial of her name : MO.

And I just finished the M one. Different from the last project, I used a 120gr/m2 as the frame (the last project I used 80gsm paper strip). It's become easier to shape the letter.
 

And.. here is the tutorial of how to make a gradation swirl on your quilling  :

(Cara membuat swirl bergradasi pada quilling paper)

Put some colors together like the picture below, I suggest to arrange the paper to : darkest color - lightest color - medium color, in order to give a special gradation effect. Then, roll or quil it together. To make a layers, give a gap for each quilled paper from the others.

(In Bahasa : Letakkan beberapa kertas seperti gambar di bawah ini. Saya sarankan untuk mengurutkan kertas dari yang : paling gelap - paling terang - dan yang sedang. Hal tersebut bertujuan untuk memberi efek gradasi yang tidak biasa, agar warna 'sedang' tidak mati. Kemudian, gulung bersama-sama menggunakan quilling needle. Untuk membuat layer, renggangkan hasil gulungan tadi)

The result are contain in the section marked in a picture below.

(Hasilnya terdapat pada bagian yang ditandai, pada gambar di bawah ini)

Well, that's the tutorial and the result. What do you think? Is it beautiful or so-so or bad? Please kindly write your opinion, criticism, or suggestion in a commend field. I need your opinion to make a better quilled paper. Thank you and happy quilling, guys!
