Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Somerset Gallery Summer 2011}

May 22, 2011

I received my copy of Somerset Studios Gallery – Summer 2011 last week and was super excited to have my Whimsical Altered book featured in this issue on pages 84-88. This book was truly a labor of love which took several months to complete. The poetry is from Hilda Conkling and images are from Paper Whimsy.

You may see the book in more detail on Stampington’s web site:

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 have always had a great fondness for a good altered book. Probably because mine never turn out very well. I have great respect for your work in this piece. I received my contributors copy last week and am glad I can browse the rest of your book now.
