Union Jacks of all sorts make a great Christmas Gift

Union Jack - Big LOVE version

The Union Jack is such a wonderful flag and I've enjoyed making several different versions with stamps for several years now.  They are very popular to give as a gift at any time of year, but if you are looking for a special Christmas gift look no further!   I'm happy to say that they have travelled the world too and been purchased by people in USA, Canada, Denmark and Australia either as canvas prints or giclee prints and in sizes from A3 to larger than A1! I've also been asked to customise them by including  particular stamps which have a special meaning for the recipient.  You can see other versions of the Union Jack as well as flags from many other nations, made with the stamps of those countries on www.rachelmarkwick.co.uk - see the  FLAGS  page.

International Beatles Week in Liverpool 21-27 August 2013

This week is International Beatles week in Liverpool! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - wish I was there!
I made this Beatles tribute Union Jack stamp collage flag which incorporates the 6 Beatles album cover stamps issued in 2007, along with other iconic British stamps to make up the flag.  In clockwise order from top left of flag are : Abbey Road 64p, Let it Be 72p, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1st Class, Help! 64p,  With the Beatles, Ist Class, and Revolver, 72p.  It's available as a giclee print on high quality paper at £35 (unframed)  plus P&P or as a canvas print mounted on a wooden frame at £60  Plus P & P. Both images are approximately 36 cms x 26 cms (approx A3).  E mail  markwickfamily@aol.com  for further details. Cards also available.

If you want to find out more about  International Beatles Week, have a look at their website:

It was such fun!
