Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{August Days}

August 1, 2012

WOWSERS! Is it really August already? July went by with a blink of an eye. In many ways it seems like summer has been here for months because we started having 80 plus weather in March this year.

I am sharing some projects from a few months ago and a few from this past month. I haven’t really been making much art because of duties with my other job and my brother’s doctor appointments/surgery. He has another to go through this month also.

I hope you are surviving this summer heat. I’ve had my first taste of Michigan sweet corn a week ago, and hope to get more to freeze for the winter. Mmmm Mmm!

About Sugar Lump Studios

I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

    Lucky you to have sweet corn! In Missouri it has all burnt up! I love all your lovely projects!

    Always a pleasure to view your creations.. especially love the shadow box..beautiful.
    I know, how can it be August? We’ve got our own tomatoes for about 3 weeks now.. in IDAHO!!! I’m from Iowa originally, and it’s painful to see those burned up corn fields.
    I always loved the fall when it was corn picking time on our farm.
    Fall isn’t so far away now.. and cooler weather.

    Oh there’s nothing like home-grown corn – it is the sweetest!
    We are fortunate to grow it here at home!
    Love your newest works Nancy – the images you have used are just gorgeous especially the sisters in that shadow box!
    Wishing you still all the best with your brother and husband!
    Love and hugs,
    Suzy

    Hi Nancy~
    I agree 100%, can’t believe it’s August! I’ve been so busy this summer with the kids out of school, haven’t blogged, haven’t even been in the studio, it’s too hot anyway. But I had to come see what you’ve been up to and WoW……….I love it all Nancy. The lace book from a few posts ago, the prayer bunting, the cone, this sweet assemblage. You always inspire me in so many ways. In fact I may just go make something when I finish up here.
    Hope things are better with your husband and brother.
    Lisa
