I, like you, had a hard time with this technique. However, Azlina Abdul was also the one who helped me to get it right. I think we can all learn from each other! Thanks for sharing! 😊
What a fascinating video! I love vortex shapes and have watched Azilina’s videos often. We all learn in different ways. Her approach is the first that has made sense to me and for the life of me, I just don’t understand yours. Except for the final bit of twisting around the center. I think it’s such a wonderful testament about spatial perception. The comments here comparable to those on Azalina’s channel: FINALLY!!! Someone who can explain this in a way I understand. The internet has allowed excellent teachers of quilling to share their passion and techniques globally. It doesn’t matter where we live, what time of day it is, what our circumstances are. We just need to call up TH-cam and make a few searches and presto! We’re transported into a world that expands us, feeds our creative spirits, encourages us to explore at our own pace and in our own worlds What a lovely privilege to be graced by so many presenters so graciously.
Yes, Azlina's vortex coils were my first experience and try also. She explains it well, just like you do. I like it when the teacher actually talks while teaching😃.
@@ThePaperyCraftery It worked, I was able to successfully make a vortex coil. I think the key to it was using a smooth work surface, as you suggested, instead of my circle template which is on a cork surface.
In my research I know I saw a video where someone made a flower out of teardrop vortex. I think they just made the vortex, then pinched one side and it had a teardrop effect. I’m sure you could search TH-cam for the video. I know the finished flower was pink and blue, but I don’t remember who made it.
@@ThePaperyCraftery oh thank you. I’m new to all the quilling techniques, just wondered that’s all as I don’t know what to use his shape for otherwise. I am enjoying working through your very helpful videos here in the UK
Thank you for explaining this so well. Xx I have watched Azlinas videos as well, they are great but I did find I found your demonstration on this easier to follow. I have been trying for weeks to get it right and it wouldn’t work, I watched your video; tried one and it worked straight away. Phew, it was becoming frustrating. Lol 😂
Hi, thanks for video, like you I’m having great difficulty acquiring a vortex! Also used Azlina’s videos, they’re so good. Will as you advise practice more, hoping to succeed soon! Thanks
@@ThePaperyCraftery 3 days later & I’ve only managed a few not too special. I’ll keep trying! Thanks for your reply. Found 1 I made a few months ago so I was able to make 1! Hope to produce a few more, I’m amazed at your videos & success!
Really well explained and demonstrated Meredith. Vortex coils are so very tricky to master but really impressive when they work and well worth the effort. The trick of uncoiling the roll on a slick surface is really helpful and your close up camera also helps enormously. Thank you as ever for your very clear videos. 😘 ❤
You can store the bottle upside down, and also try keeping it open in a cup with a damp paper towel in the bottom while you’re working. That helps a lot!
I, like you, had a hard time with this technique. However, Azlina Abdul was also the one who helped me to get it right. I think we can all learn from each other! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Yes! The way she explained it just clicked!
The easiest way have seen this down yet! Thanks for sharing.
So glad to help! It's a tricky one 😁

I'm glad you've found her helpful too! She's the master of vortex for me 😁

She's pretty great!
This was a great tutorial! I've watched a few others and just couldn't get it. I successfully made one after watching your video. Thanks for sharing!
Hooray! Great to hear!
Oh, I will be trying this technique. Such a cool shape!
Thank you so much for this important technique!
You are so welcome!
Thanks a lot this way is more easier ❤❤❤❤
Awesome! So glad to help!
Thank you so much for this video and instruction, vortex coils are a challenge that I have yet to master, this gives me some motivation to try again.
I hope it does. You can do it!

awesome tutorial once again.
Thanks so much for watching!
Love this look!
First time and it worked! Lovely
Awesome! That makes me so glad!
@@ThePaperyCraftery wish I could send you a pic. Is there a way to do a petal (teardrop) shape with this technique
In my research I know I saw a video where someone made a flower out of teardrop vortex. I think they just made the vortex, then pinched one side and it had a teardrop effect. I’m sure you could search TH-cam for the video. I know the finished flower was pink and blue, but I don’t remember who made it.

Thanks for watching!
They look great.
Thanks!
Wow !! Que lindos vortex🥰 y con dos tonos se ven geniales !!
Gracias por mirar y todas sus amables palabras 🤩

Thank you for the tutorial, very helpfull. I have used a very tiny screwdriver and that works also to unravel the center.
Great tip!

They can definitely take some time!

It took me about 8 years before it clicked 😂 I was serious when I said I just couldn’t get it! Thanks so much for your kind works and your support 🤩
@@ThePaperyCraftery Great, I’ll be 81 if I get to vortex satisfactorily as I only started last April! Thanks , I‘ll keep trying!

Glad you enjoyed it! A smooth surface makes all the difference!

How do you keep your glue from being clogged?
You can store the bottle upside down, and also try keeping it open in a cup with a damp paper towel in the bottom while you’re working. That helps a lot!
I tried it. Couldn’t do it😂
It can take some time. I was completely honest when I said I wasn't getting it either, even after teaching quilling for 10 years!
