Hi there!  My name is Sandee Hyde and I am a self taught mixed-media artist.  I've always loved art and spent many years making fabric quilts.  I came to mixed-media and altered art quite by accident!  I signed up for an Altered Book class at my local scrapbooking store, not really knowing what it was.  However, after that class, I was hooked!  

 

I love working with paper!  All kinds of paper.  My preference for images are that of a vintage nature and I love using ephemera in my work as well.  Actually, I'll work with just about anything: fibers, paint, wood and rusty things, as long as it adds to my piece.  I just recently started making fabric journal pages and my goal for 2008 is to start making assemblages.

 

On a personal note, I've been married to a terrific guy since 1984 and have three teenage sons.  I'm really excited about being on Lisa's Altered Art Design Team.  Please check out my art at http://sandees-sanity.blogspot.com/ and feel free to leave a comment!

 

Happy arting!
