    Hi Janet,

    I made a two colour moebius strip during the xmas break, white and
    yellow gold, with the join between the two colours cut as a wavy line
    - started with a strip of 1 mm thick yellow, cut wavy bands of .3 mm
    white to fit approx. half the  width of the yellow, soldered one each
    side of the yellow, put through the rolling mill, then twisted and
    joined to make the finished strip - worked very well, so I made it
    into a pendant for my partner- he loves it. I think with what you
    want to do, etching might be an option, but have you considered using
    something coloured, such as resin? Then you could make a plain
    moebius, and pait the resin on - this might work well, or maybe using
    a textured strip from wax, sorry if I'm being a bit obvious with
    these suggestions, but I am getting very enthusiastic about all of
    these possibilities :-)
