The Great Inuvik Craft Fair

November 27th, 2012

Sunrise: 12:20 pm
Sunset: 3:02 pm

Temps: -16'C to -30'C

Just in time for Christmas, Inuvik hosted the annual craft fair this past weekend. Friday night was absolute madness, but here are some pictures from a less crowded Sunday afternoon.

Marja Van Nieuwenhuisen and her dyed and recycled wearables.

Fur mitts, and brooches; beaded slippers and cardholders

Knives and "ulus," the Inuit multipurpose knife.

My indulgence: wearable art made by an elder from Sach's Harbour.  These moose hid slippers feature beaver fur trim and amazing bead work. I love them!!
