Everyone loves Owls

Another Owl print flew out of the Artshop in Beechwood Shopping Centre recently. This Artshape shop was open until Christmas and sales were very successful, helping to raise the profile of Artshape Ltd in Gloucestershire. See http://www.artshape.co.uk/ for futher details of the charity's work. Unfortunately the shop is now closed but may reappear in another area at some stage.

The Owl shown here is made from postage stamps, postcards, postmarks.

It is available as a full size print, approx 14 x 12 " or reduced to size 10 x 8" .

Greetings cards also available A5 or A6. Please e mail for futher details.

Secret Artist - Secret Garden

You can now see a print version of the original Secret Garden I donated to the Museum in the Park Secret Artist project. I so enjoyed making this that I've decided to make another one, but it will look very different as I'll be using different stamps - could do a "Spot the Difference" game when it's finished maybe!

New year, new work in readiness for the Open Studios Festival in Stroud which is a month earlier this year. Dates for your diary: Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May 2012, and Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th May. 11 - 6 pm each day. My studio is in Bisley Road and all details will be available in the Site 12 Brochure available nearer the time. Over 90 artists took part last year and this will be another exciting event. Just remember: MAY, not June this year though!

Stamp Collages on Show in Stroud 3rd and 4th December

Rachel Markwick's Studio will be open to the public on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th December from 10 am until 5 pm on both days. A wonderful variety work including original Stamp Collages, framed and unframed, prints and canvas prints, as well as greetings cards will be available to purchase. Christmas cards also taken from original designs made of stamps will be available.

Secret Artist, Museum in the Park, Stroud

Just about to deliver my postcard sized artwork to the Museum in the Park in Stratford Park, Stroud for the Secret Artist Project. It should be a really exciting display of work which will be on show this week-end at the Museum from 11.00 each day. I know several other artists who have donated their work and am really looking forward to going along.
The idea is that you buy a ticket for £15 and you will be allocated a secret number and that will be matched up with one of the pieces of work at the end of the exhibition, but you don't know which you are getting until then! A bit like Secret Santa!!

Can't show my piece of work here ...because it's a secret of course!
