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.

    Oh my goodness, it’s the 3rd day and I am already starting to lose pace… I love your projects, Nancy, and I can’t stop sitting in front of the PC, my eyes close to the screen to see all the beautiful details. But now I’ll get going. I have to keep up, the most beautiful little gloves are waiting.. Thanks for sharing this one, too!!
    Grateful hugs
