When doing the holo wrap the color that gives the holo effect is which one. In this example photo the red/maroon color comes from which thread? And the lines creadted I guess are from the burnishing. Do you burnish in a particular pattern to achieve this type of pattern. Is the burnishing done before the first coat of epoxy ? My main question is how to achieve the defined lines as seen in this pic
"When doing the holo wrap the color that gives the holo effect is which one." Generally, it's the thread on top. Not on this one, though.

I burnish both layers in opposite directions from each other. Wrap them loose enough to move around freely, and you'll be able to produce some wild patterns. The more you burnish(shifted wildly from straight and even), the more pronounced the swirls, eyes, etc. The thicker the finish over the first wrap, the more pronounced the 3D Moire effect.
The dominant color is generally the TOP thread for 2 layer moire wraps. Although I haven't tried any 3 layer moires or any with multiple scarificial threads. As the moire effect seems to me a light refracting effect that fools the eye different methods or trechniques will definately effect color.
I also have not had much success burnishing the TOP layer at all and it is recommended by both authors of the article in RodMaker mag. not to burnish the top layer just the bottom.
The best thing to do is try the wrap technique with any idea that comes to mind and see what happens and document your results. As Doc has found, some interesting effects can happen.
