 Sunset and Fireweed by Annette Campbell by jamiesno The Labrador region has many great artist and one of them is Annette Campbell Janes is a Labrador Metis artist. Her studio is located in her remote Northern cabin in western Labrador. It is here, surrounded by the magnificent flora wildlife, and northern phenomena, such as the awe inspiring northern lights, that Annette creates her skillfully rendered artwork. It is from these original works that Annette produces her own art cards and prints in various sizes, using lightfast, as well as, archival and lightfast art papers, canvas and pigments. This process ensures that these true giclee reproductions, including the cards, maintain the highest quality images from 25 up to 200 years. The more I travel throughout Labrador the more local crafts I am starting to appreciate and collect from the different regions. I hope you enjoy and buy some as well!

 Partridgeberries by local artist Cindy Robbins by jamiesno In one of my "Off the Beaten Path" tips, I recommended you try Bakeapple Picking. While bakapple picking you will also common across another tasty and common berry in the southeastern and Labrador Straits region called the partridgeberry. I have another sketch provided of this berry so you know what to look for. These are very tasty as well and I want to recommend you try buying some "Partridgeberry Ice" while in the region.
Partridgeberry Ice is a new premium fruit beverage that is refreshing, unique and healthy. This delightful drink is made in Labrador using wild partridgeberries picked from the Straits of Labrador. It is a refreshing everage to substitute cranberry and other juices and soft drinks. The beverage is a healthy elicious treat for all ages. There is an aroma of partridgeberries that lingers on as you gulp down the drink. The ingredients include: partridgeberries, ice berg water - made from 10,000 year old arctic icebergs, sugar, and potassium sorbate.

 Community of Port Hope Simpson, Labrador by jamiesno Moulder of Dreams is a community-supported project in Port Hope Simpson to incorporate disabled residents into the workplace. The community has a population of approximately 600 people. About 10% of this population are affected with a severe handicap recognized as "Myotonic Dystrophy" that affects the nervous and muscular system in individuals. In looking for ways to make this responsibility a reality and in connection with Mr. Waymare Harish, an occupational therapist, it was recommended that the creation of a Pottery Industry could meet the therapeutic/medical needs of these individuals. With tremendous support from various funding agencies, the pottery program became a reality for six Myotonic individuals, two challenging needs individuals, a short-term instructor, and a Coordinator to oversee the project. Their mandate is to implement a pottery training course that will embrace skill development, provide meaningful employment, and ultimately lead to business development that will see the marketing of the pottery products outside the area utilizing the handicapped logo. A visit here will not only allow you an opportunity to appreciate the finished pieces, or view the art of pottery-making in action, but you share in the feeling of unity as these myotonic and challenging-needs participants give life to their mounds of clay with their own special touch.
I recommend buying the mugs and bowls are all very nice. Leave a Comment Theme: ArtPhone: 1 709 960 0333Directions: Located in the center of town in the Port Hope Simpson town council building.Website: www.labradorcoastaldrive.com Other Contact: moulderofdreams@nf.aibn.com

 The Talking Stick by jamiesno I thought here I would feature some more of Labrador's arts community. The peice featured in this picture is by Barb Wood. It is the Talking Stick.
The talking stick has been used for centuries by many American Indian tribes as a means of just and impartial hearing. The talking stick was commonly used in council circles to designate who had the right to speak. When matters of great concern came before the council, the leading elder would old the talking stick and begin the discussion. When he finished what he had to say he would hold out the talking stick, and whoever wished to speak after him would take it. In this manner teh stick was passed from one individual to another until all who wished to speak had done so. The stick was then passed back to teh leading elder for safe keeping. Some tribes used a talking feather instead of a talking stick. Other tribes might have a peace pipe, a wampum belt, a sacred shell, or some other object by which they designate the right to speak. Whatever the object, it carries respect for free speech and assured the speaker he has the freedom and power to say what is in his heart without fear of reprisal or humiliation.
