Guys...

If ya like the look of the cording, but the formability of wire, I've got JUST the ticket: wire-insert candle wicking! Michaels has it, and I've seen it in various sizes and in both pre-waxed and bare cotton. I've also found suitable wicking that was 'woven' enough that I could insert a piece of wire myself...

And neat thing... the wick takes any of the paints easily, just like dye. Same stuff in thinner diameters make great tie-downs. Even seen some flattish stuff that might be close enough to webbing...

Just another heads-up from Mr. "Outside The Box"...
