While visiting our sons at the University of Oregon several years ago we attended a special exhibit at the Schnitzer Museum on campus of Asian Art. I was quite intrigued by the prints by Helen Hyde. Born in New York in 1868, Hyde had wide-ranging art studies in her youth, in San Francisco, New York, Berlin and Paris. She travelled to Japan when she was 31, studied Japanese painting techniques, and began to produce woodblock prints, working with local craftsmen. Much of her work was considered Many of her main themes were considered "saccharine" and her images of women and children were not properly appreciated at the time. She died of cancer at 51. I think these images are really quite sweet. My favorite technique is simple stamping and coloring with watercolor pencils. All these images can be found here on two sheets of images inspired by the works of Helen Hyde. Images are also available singly.
This blog is to show samples of items made using About Art Accents, Art Neko and Taylored Stamps unmounted rubber stamps. As you can see from the May 7th posting, we are in the process of transferring ownership of Art Neko to About Art Accents. Due to the size of offerings being added it will take quite a bit of time to synchronize the two companies onto one website but when that task is completed we will resume adding content to this blog.
I have found that the slide shows behave differently depending on operating systems and browser settings that vary from computer to computer. If a slideshow is not showing in the right orientation or if the samples are not centered above their text, please refresh your page. You can view theany of the slideshows directly by clicking on the View All link at the bottom left of the slidesow frame.
If you have samples using Art Neko, Taylored Stamps or About Art Accent images you would like to add to the slide shows, email a digital copy or send your sample to us--Contact Information.
