Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Family Whimsey}

February 25, 2007


I made these 4 x 6 canvas collages out of total whimsey. I tried to use colors I love – but not the usual heritage look. The first canvas of of my Grandparents (Maxwell), my siblings and my two cousins. I am the little girl in Grandpa’s arms.

I have very few photos of Grandpa and I together because he passed shortly after my fourth birthday.

The second canvas is of “My Three” – Allison – Ian (top back) and Andrew. Totally silly but a precious photo I love of all of them together.

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.

    Thanks for sharing these fun pieces. For the last 2 weeks I've been trying to do something very similar with an old family photo, myself. Now that I see the colors you chose, I think I know what I want to do!
