Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Friends Gothic Arch}

November 18, 2007


This weeks challenge at Gothic Arches
is to create an arch using the theme “Friends”…I selected one of my favorite vintage images, gold embossing powder, justjohanna garland stamps, ruler (PBS stamp), pattern paper with friendship quotes, prima flower, machine stitching and a friendship quote.

“It takes a long time to grow an old friend.”

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.
