Jasperware Ornaments

mld104126_1208_jasperware.jpg

Ornaments based on jasperware, the unglazed stoneware first produced by Wedgwood in the late 18th century, transform branches into a holiday display. Jasperware is known for its blue background and white cameo patterns, but antique and newer versions come in a variety of colors, including lilac and green. Create your own ornaments using Paperclay modeling material and German springerle-cookie molds, or paint store-bought architectural ornaments. These branches have been sprayed white and dusted with glittering mica flakes.

A pound of Paperclay makes about 5 medium-size ornaments. Wrap any clay you are not using tightly in plastic to keep it from drying out as you work.
