Fabric Filigree Necklace in Resin

This is one of the most time consuming resin projects I've made, mostly due to the fine cutting of all the details to make the piece look airy and delicate.  It's not hard, but it does take patience.  The quilting cotton I chose has a metallic ink print to accent the design, and these accents show up even more in resin, to my delight.

Once I had my piece made I decided to tie several cords of Wire Lace in different colors through the design, rather than drilling and using jump rings, but you can do that too if you prefer.  I made the cords long enough to be tied at the back, with extra length to hang down, this way it's adjustable.  I tied coordinating beads to the ends to finish it off.

I'm loving this technique.

Some fabrics will need a white backing to help the design pop.
