WOW! Wincanton's Art Trail..

There are exciting things happening in Wincanton this week, the home of my little Purple Sparkle shop. Yesterday launched WOW! Windows of Wincanton, which is an art trail on and around Wincanton High Street..



Almost every shop window is displaying artwork, and it's amazing how much talent there is here. I tried to take a picture of the work in my window, but my photograph just doesn't do it justice!



The artist is Eve Nicholls, and this what is difficult to see in the photograph is that this waterfall is entirely embroidered. The theads and the fabric sparkle in the light, it really is beautiful! The artist bio tells me that each piece takes months of work. I won't want to let this one go at the end of the week!

I have also this week stumbled across the work of The Artificers, who create incredible sculptures in their workshop in Wincanton. Their website has an online gallery which is well worth a visit.

Another artist who just amazes me is Tamsyn G. There doesn't seem to be anything that Tasmsyn can't put her hand to and create beautifully! So I'm very excited to have some of her creations in the Purple Sparkle shop.. these arrived yesterday...



Aren't they lovely! There is so much more over at Tamsyn's website and you must see her paintings too, they're stunning - and a selection is currently being displayed on Wincanton High Street!

So, I really think that Wincanton is the place to be this week. I'll be here too, I'm mainly making candles that look like cupcakes, but then you probably know that already...!

See you soon,

Purpley :-) x
