Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Happy July…oh my!}

July 1, 2011

What to do on a hot July day? Find a good cool spot on Mom’s bed and sleep the day away! :)

Happy July everyone! I can’t believe June has already come and gone. I had a little day to myself today, and hid from the heat (just like my Boxer Hailey did today)…a few fabric collages were made. I scanned cabinet cards from my collection to use as the images.

“Sweet Roses”…two sisters and lots of bead work along the vintage lace.

“Lil Darlings”…
I love the expressions on these two cuties faces! They remind me a bit of my own two son’s when they were little tikes.

I hope you have a safe and Happy 4th of July! Stay cool! :)

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.

    I just saw your post about moving your blog. I can’t say I blame you. I am having a lot of issues with Blogger and people being unable to leave comments.

    I like the new look here! And as always, your work is gorgeous.

    my duffy also does this, except he is usually wet & muddy the little stinker.
    i love your new collages, especially the second – what sweeties. i seem to have lost all creative instincts…i’m a big blah…and i can’t even blame it on the heat, because is isn’t hot, it’s cold & rainy!! i’ll keep visiting you, maybe i will get a spark of inspiration…
    happy 4th!

    Nancy! Love the photo of your dog relaxin’ in the bed there. It’s a good way to escape the heat! Your fabric collages are stunning! Sending cool thoughts to you. We’re very muggy, here, at the moment and it will be storms all day. xxoo
