Good morning all!!
I hope your weekend was wonderful and you were able to keep cool! We had record breaking heat here in the Pacific NW and more to come so I have been spending a lot of time researching our trip to China this fall and trying to figure out our intinerary.
One of the MAIN stops on our trip will be going to one of the biggest Panda breeding facilities in China to see these magnificent endangered beauties up close and personal as well as speak to the administration in person about what I can do to help in any way possible. The Panda is considered a symbol of Peace in China which ignites my passion for protecting their interests even more.
So…with a lot of thinking and brainstorming and juggling my time and charity funds..I decided to launch a new pet project that will be ongoing on the website over the next year or so.
I will be telling you all more later this week but wanted to introduce the new logo for this super exciting pendant line based on CONTRAST. Contrast of black and white, contrast of the Chinese Culture and our own here in America and the similarities as well through my camera lens and journal from our trip in September. And of course the most important feature to this project…the common goal of both countries to preserve the Da xiong mao….”the giant bear cat” panda.
Sandra, Please don’t neglect the Red Pandas, which are also highly endangered. They, too, are a treasure worth saving and may give you a bit of a change if you get a bit too much black and white. Congratulations on a wonderful project!

What a wonderful idea Sandra!! This is a beautiful way to help such a lovely creature. Way to Go!!
Thanks girls!! I’m a huge fan of the red panda too Jan! They are so gorgeous and what faces! I wish I could help them all!!!
I am getting so excited for our trip and this project helps keep me “grounded” until we go. I get too wound up otherwise..LOL! Now I have something to plan for besides what I can fit into one backpack as my only luggage! EEEEK!
Sandra, that is a fabulous idea. I just love all animals and the Panda is such a unique being and in such trouble. Heaven forbid we ever loose this wonderful creature due to mankinds destruction of their natural living environments. Just like you to always be thinking of helping others in any way you can. You are one of a kind girl. Luv ya.
Sandra,
What a wonderful idea! I can’t wait to see the pictures and what you do with them. Who knows, there may be a whole lot of “Panda” inspired jewelry appearing by the time you get done sending us your pictures, especially of the babies! I’ve always loved pandas and used to watch the ones at the national zoo in Washington DC when they had the “panda” cams up. This will be so much better to see them up close and personal through your eyes! Thanks for letting us tag along!
Hi Nancy and Laura SA!! Thanks for the sweet comments!!! Believe it or not I have never seen a panda in real life so this trip is going to be a shocker for me. Panda overload and I’ll be in panda paradise!!!
I watch the panda cam at the National zoo all the time too Laura. I love it!!!!
Hugs
Sandra
