Rainbow Wrap Ring

Level: Very "Creatively" advanced

This style of wire wrapping is sometimes referred to Rainbow wrap for its popularity among the Rainbow Gathering crowd. According to Wikipedia, the Rainbow Gatherings are "temporary intentional communities, typically held in outdoor settings, and espousing and practicing ideals of peace, love, harmony, freedom and community, as a consciously expressed alternative to mainstream popular culture, consumerism, capitalism and mass media."

The most recognizable technique of the Rainbow wraps are woven ribbons, made with two or three thick wires woven with thin wire in a modified figure 8.
