Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Heartfelt Altered Book Box}

October 9, 2010


I’ve had this box since the beginning of summer…finally photographed it to share with you. I found it at Michael’s and thought it was pretty spiffy. The antique keyhole plate we found at our local antique mall. I added one of my favorite Paper Whimsy images, antique lace, mother of pearl buttons, ephemera, and old book text. I love how the book/box looks all weathered and worn and serves the purpose of allowing storage.

This box is available in my Etsy Shop

Hope you have a great weekend! :)

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'm glad when people are interested in all the old and want to keep it.

    Hi Nancy. Oh I so wish we had Michaels over here, what a fantastic store. This is another stunning piece of art, love that lock and the lace draped over the girl. You have the most incredible eye for detail. Have a great week Nancy :) Lynne x
