Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Lovely Daughter Heart}

July 3, 2010


I love hearts at any time of year (I collect them in various forms) and made this altered heart hanger using wee bits of ephemera, Mother of Pearl buttons, a sweet Paper Whimsy image, distress inks, and vintage seam binding ribbon. I applied text along the outer edge of the heart to add a bit of whimsy. She needed the name “Lovely Daughter” because I miss my own (she is currently living in Arizona)…have a wonderful 4th of July 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.

    That little girl just draws you in. Happy 4th of July and thanks for sharing this most beautiful heart hanging. Lynne x (I replied to your comment – have you been watching "Braveheart" recently?! I'm sure that they shout that out. I'm correct in saying it is Scotland Forever?

    Nancy, the heart is beautiful (of course). I too reside in Arizona, I hope your daughter is doing well. I will tell you that's it's been crazy hot lately. 115 degrees the other day, which I'm sure she tells you. But no humidity thank goodness. Your work is wonderful and I've said it before, but it never fails to inspire me.

    Hi Nancy,

    I love your heart and I also love paper whimsy…she is having a sale right now..I received the email about it yesterday I think.

    Thanks so much for visiting with me. I hope you had a great weekend. I had a great birthday and a fun weekend.

    Oh, and thanks for looking at my studio post…what a journey! Finally…after 6 years I have all of my creative stuff organized and in it's place. :0)

    And I'm NEVER moving again..LOL

    Hugs,
    Stephanie ♥
