Inlace Christmas Tree Necklace
« on: December 08, 2010, 10:52:02 pm »
I got some Inlace at the woodworking show last weekend, and was playing around with a bit. I made a couple of Steve's key chains and a few necklaces.
The necklaces were a big hit at school. For the week of Halloween I had a different halloween necklace everyday(pumpkin, ghost, bat, witch's hat & jack-o-lantern). I should have saved the christmas tree for next week, I am not sure if I can get creative enough to have a full 12 days of christmas. I'll try.

MrsN, how well did the Inlace stick to the wood? I tried some of the poly clay and found that once I baked it-it was loose and I needed to glue it in place. Any issues with Inlace becoming loose?

They really are cool!  I plan on getting some inlace  when I do the show in March.  I can't wait.  You really did a beautiful job!

Really nice work. Does it work with heat like clay?

the inlace is an epoxy like substance. The one I got has bits of stuff in it so it looks a little like the fancy granite counters, but I think it is all plastics. There are lots of colors and things that an be mixed it to the resin. I think steve did a blog about it.
the stuff is really sticky, I haven't tried to break it, but it seems solid once it cures. I don't think it will fall out.
