Weekend Wishlist – Gilder’s Paste {the homespun life: handmade jewelry}

I know it’s been months since I had anything new to show you guys in the realm of metal clay jewelry. Believe me, I miss it! I’m still working on the massive studio unpack project of 2011, but I can’t wait to get back in there and get some clay under my fingernails!

Meantime, I’m positively itching to try this stuff out:

It’s called Gilder’s Paste, and it looks unbelievably cool! While I absolutely love the intense and unforgiving process of enamel, there are times that I want a quicker result or a more “rustic” look. This stuff looks like it might provide exactly that! I absolutely love the texture and the old-world feel. Check out the products page for some amazing images from artist Lorena Angulo – I can’t get over that gorgeous rose ring!
