FROM CARRIE PHILLIPS , OUR ADOPTION COORDINATOR FOR THE YIN YANG TRIBE! THANK YOU!!

You can read more about the  process of adopting Bai Xue HERE

Hi Sandra,  Please share this update and adorable pictures of Bai Xue with the Yin Yang Tribe. Such a cutie!

BAI XUE

Now your baby’s weight is 112 kg.  Every day it has bamboo of about 15 kg, 2,400 g Wowotou, 400 g carrot, 400 g apple and 1 kg bamboo shoot.  It has a good appetite.  Even though it is very hot these months, it has no influence on it’s appetite at all.  But it has less movement.  Most of the time, it stays in the den to for rest and sleeping. It goes into the playground to walk when it is cool.  It has a good relationship with its keepers.  As soon as it hears keepers are calling it, it would go to them.  Very cute.

Thank you Yin Yang Tribe for your adoption!

And below you will find my latest painting I just finished yesterday, available right now as art cards and a 2011 poster style calendar, which also echos the styling of the Chinese Scroll calendars we see all over in Asia as well Chinese Restaurants in the U.S.   The colors are rich and saturated yet with a softness and glow to bring out the best in this sweet child with her panda cub

I spoke with Suzanne  at Pandas International last week and we had a nice talk.  After I got off the phone it occured to me I really need to start putting aside money again for the pandas, and the most urgent need right now is still for bamboo bucks to get those groves replanted for the wild pandas.  Without adequate bamboo supply the few wild pandas left  will have tough go of it!!!

FROM THE PANDAS INTERNATIONAL WEBSITE

Pandas International has been asked by the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda (CCRCGP) to spearhead a drive to replant the bamboo destroyed by the earthquake. The planting and harvesting will be done by local farmers who will benefit economically from the project. A recent study by the Chinese Academy of Science has found through the use of satellite images that in the specific area studied, 354 square kilometers, 23% of the panda’s habitat was “converted to bare land.” Lead author, Weihua Xu, also believes that “about 60% of the Giant Panda population was affected to some extent.”

The CCRCGP scientists, with the aid of transferred, experienced Wolong farmers, will begin growing, transplanting, and caring for thousands of bamboo seedlings throughout areas near Gengda Town.  As the three species of bamboo mature and spread, both wild and captive Pandas will again have plentiful nourishment. The cost to replant on acre of bamboo is approximately $ 4,500.00 USD.

Realizing how tight most of our budgets are right now, I know it’s hard to send in cash to charities unless there is truly some extra left over at the end of the month.  With the holidays coming I was trying to figure out the best way to give a little without  breaking the bank myself.

I’m saving for my trip to Chengdu in February and need to put aside every spare bit, but I know I can manage to donate  a bit of my income from panda art sales over this holiday gift buying season.  If you all are looking for some special and unique items  to give your panda loving friends, please consider a gift that does double duty.

I am DONATINGg $5.00 from each of my new designer  panda handbags which I am offering on my website,  from now until Chinese New Year  2010…THE YEAR OF THE TIGER (which falls on Valentines day as well)  My friend Gayle and I will be in Chengdu at that time  to visit all our cubbies at Biefengxia as well as the moonbears at AAF!!!  In some cases I may even be able to throw in a few extra bamboo bucks and will add that to the tally

Many of the above panda designs are selling very fast and some only have one or 2 left in the edition .  I just introduced them last week and want to thank you all for the wonderful feedback and reception to this new designer handbag endeavor of mine.  I hope those of you who purchased your bags get years and years of enjoyment and compliments from them.  I have already put aside my donation from your purchased bags to go to PI at the end of the year.

I’ll be posting a tally up here soon so we can all keep track of the Bamboo Bucks together!!!
