Here are some more information for Chinese Hand Draw:
Life
I paint with an emphasis on expressing LIFE (the spirit and the soul) which is the expression of my love for the natural world and its creatures. From the heart of my Incan cultural comes my love and respect for nature. I honor my love of nature and man by painting with a balance of rhythm, harmony, and movement. This is the tradition of my people the Incans Indians of Peru, and the Chinese Philosophers which I studied at the Central Institute of Fine Arts of China. Thus, when I paint, the animals have a voice, the spirit of nature speaks, and man travels in harmony with nature and God.
Use of Color & Patterns
I render an emotional tone of the rhythm of the Incan Indian life through my vibrant use of color. I use bright and radiant combinations of reds, turquoises, purples, and oranges, which characterize the textiles and ceramics of the Peruvian Andean. It is believed that the colors appease the spirits so that they will be happy and will not bring forth darkness. I employ simple swirling patterns to transmit a sense of the peace and harmony that radiate from the Incan Indians close interrelation to the land. It is this sense of the sacredness in nature that comes from deep within my works.
Calligraphy
What has fascinated me about traditional Chinese painting when I studied it was the use of colors and lines from calligraphy. Calligraphy in Chinese tradition expresses feelings, harmony, rhythm, movement and balance. The Chinese say, "Let's see how you write to see how you paint!" If you do not write calligraphy, you don't paint. The Aztec, Mayans and Incans (symbolic writers) say the same in their philosophy, "to write is like painting and painting is like writing." Thus from the writing come the discipline and precision of the trained artist, along with the rhythm, harmony, and movement that expresses the fragile side of human life and nature as they exist in a delicate harmonious balance.
Feng Shui
I stay true to the Chinese ancient philosophy of nature, Feng Shui in most of my paintings. Feng Shui is mainly concerned with understanding the relationships between nature and ourselves so that we might live in harmony within our environment. Feng Shui is related to the very sensible notion that living with rather than against nature benefits both humans and our environment. Most of my paintings honor the traditions of Feng Shui.
Materials Used
My western paintings demonstrate the themes, stripes, techniques and the use of natural colors and inks. I paint with natural inks, water colors, acrylics, and oils on rice paper, cotton paper and canvas.
My eastern paintings use techniques and materials that span several dynasties, such as the Song, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. They are painted on rice paper, different color silks using natural Chinese inks and colors.

About The Author
Ernesto Apomayta
Born and raised in Puno, Peru, Ernesto Apomayta was identified as an artistic prodigy at the tender age of five. As a boy, Apomayta was first influenced and inspired by the natural marvels surrounding the humble home he shared with his family. In close proximity to shimmering Lake Titicaca, the striking beauty of the Andes and the awe-inspiring Incan ruins of his ancestors, Apomayta was spiritually compelled to express his wonder visually through his paintbrush. A direct ancestor of the legendary photographer, Martin Chambi, Apomayta derived inspiration from the same native influences and his legacy that encouraged Apomayta to fulfill his own artistic destiny.

About Hand Tools
Tools are the "Tooth of Industry" widely used in the field of hardware and machine manufacturing. As we all known, the revolution of abrasives is always preceded to the industry revolution in any country. With the continuous development of manufacturing industry, China as the member of WTO and the speeding up process of economic globalization, which lead to a broad market for the tools, abrasives, super abrasives and grinding technique industry, at the meantime, it requires higher request and more challenge in this industry.
You might begin to believe hand tools will soon disappear as you scroll through today’s tools catalogs. With the development of cordless tools, pneumatic tools and lasers, it almost causes one to believe that conventional hand tools belong somewhere closer to the Stone Age than today’s workshops. Hand tools are being defined as those instruments that rely on the energy of the user for power. These tools include screwdrivers, planers, sanding blocks, hammers, saws and others. The assumption these tools are out of date is simply not accurate.
Actually, before electric power , all woodworking was done with hand tools. These old hand tools are now antiques or at least sought as collectibles. In additional to their aesthetic value as nostalgia from an earlier time, many of these tools are still excellent to use for their original purpose, which is working wood. Old hand tools are functional and intriguing collectibles.
An old hand planer is an interesting item for collectors. The hand planer, which is still made today, is a handy tool for shaving off layers of wood. These tools have been made from a variety of materials and are nearly indestructible. Early hand planers were made from a wooden block with the adjustable cutting blade set into the block. Later designs were made from metal. These old tools represent an era of hand craftsmanship that spoke of quality and durability.
Another interesting and highly collectible antique hand tool is the hand saw. Old saws come in a wide variety of designs and teeth arrangements. They were used for ripping and for finish work. Perhaps one of the most distinguishing characteristics of these old saws was the handle. The handles were often decorative and uniquely shaped. Long before the word ergonomic was coined, craftsman understood that they would be using their tools for long periods each day and that they must be comfortable to hold and to use.
Most old Hand tools are collected for the uniqueness and nostalgic qualities given to them. Most do not have great monetary value, like other antiques. Still, they are fun to collect. They can be found in antique stores, flea markets, estate auctions and backyard sales. They are also available on the Internet. One advantage to buying old tools on the Internet is that you can find greater variety, including many old hand tools from various countries around the world.
For some jobs, it is just easier to use hand tools. Also, for some people, there is a special satisfaction that comes from doing a task with a hand tool. Perhaps it is a connection with a father or grandfather who would have done the job that way. Or, perhaps it is a reverence for the wood and the project that is shattered by the roar and clatter of power tools.
Antique tools are valued by collectors and others because of their uniqueness and the connection they give us with nearly forgotten eras. Antique woodworking tools such as hand planers, saws, levels, gouges and many other such tools cause us to marvel at the skill of ancestral craftsmen. These tools are interesting in the tasks they accomplished and the technologies employed.
There is a special satisfaction that comes from working with wood. For many, the reward is in the doing much more than in the finished project. For these people, tools provide a connection with the project and require skills and techniques that contribute to making the project worthwhile. Often, these people find this is best accomplished by working with hand tools.
An exhibition about tools was successfully held in Shanghai Exhibition Center in May 2007, and the exhibition area reached to 3500 square meters with the amount of 10648 audiences. Among of them, the local audience has 63.8%, the foreign audience has 32.6% and the Hong Kong-Macao-Taiwan has 3.6%. According to the investigation, 82.5% of the audiences supposed the exhibition were a good channel for them to know about the new technique, new arts and crafts, new products and industry information. 76.8% of the people considered that their purchasing decision would be affected by the exhibition and 91% of them show their enthusiastic to contact new target client via the exhibition. Through the successful exhibition, we knew that the "ASGE2008" is the ideal choice for the manufacturers who would like to explore the Chinese market, Asian market and International market, in addition, it's also the best exchange platform for the manufacturers trading and cooperating with each other.
The current exhibition will draw on the machine manufacturer, hardware, and metalwork, automobile, stone, architecture, glass, wood, fireproof material etc. purchase companies, traders, technique experts and several organizations and oversea purchase groups visiting and negotiation in the exhibition. In the exhibition, both the Chinese and foreign exhibitors will attend and negotiate the development of abrasives industry. Welcome the professional people related to this industry joining us to visit and negotiate trade.

Which is nicer - a Russian Winter White hamster or a Chinese Dwarf Hamster?
I purchased a Campbell's Dwarf Hamster 3 weeks ago. Despite efforts to tame her, she appears to be getting more aggressive. After a few days, I could hold my hand up to the cage and she would crawl out. Now she bites it. Also, she bit me last night after I had in her in hand for a minute or so - just out of the blue, there was no sudden movement and I didn't try to grab her from above. I called the pet store and they will exchange her. I feel bad, but she really seems to be worse - and her bites are all drawing blood - they're not just nips. They suggested a Russian Winter White or a Chinese dwarf. From your experience, is one nicer than the other? I don't need something super cuddly, but would like to be able to handle it without getting savagely bit!
I know someone is going to chime in and say to only buy from a breeder - but I couldn't find one in the area! I tried.
Any insight is appreciated.
Female Campbells and Russians tend to go through that stage and then suddenly stop!
I've never undestood why myself, every female dwarf I've come across have always been agressive, but the weird thing is, one day she'll stop biting you out of the blue. :S
You would of been better off with a male, they are way less aggressive.
But anyway I say winter whites XD
