Sounds great but the animals went in 2 by 2 & 7 if you read close lol
maybe 2 of the same would be nice I'll see if I can get out a couple of 
camels.

> Hello all,

>

> In case you missed this article, I'm sending this to inform you of a fun 

> and worthy "worldwide" carving project.  It was written in Chip Chats 

> Nov/Dec 2205 (pages 20-21).  Please pass this along to your carving club 

> and friends.

>

>

>

> WHO:

> In celebration of their 15th Anniversary, the Austrian Woodcarving School 

> Geisler-Moroder has invited all carvers to participate in this worldwide 

> project.  The theme?  "Noah's Ark."  They encourage all carvers to send a 

> small self-carved animal from all parts of the world. They would like many 

> animals.

>

> ANIMAL SIZE:

> Using a horse as an example for a base size, it should be about 4 x 3 x 

> 2.5 inches.  Accordingly, an elephant would be larger: a bird smaller. 

> Don't worry too much about size.  They will find a proper place for it.

>

> KEPT NATURAL:

> The animals should not be finished...NO painting or staining.  Nice, 

> huh!!!  They will properly prepare them for display to withstand the 

> weather conditions for their region.

>

> ARK:

> Geisler-Moroder will build the Ark proportionately to house the number of 

> entries they receive.

>

> PARTICIPANTS:

> Participants who submit a self-carved animal will be mentioned by name 

> next to the project.  This can be any carver.  The skill can be novice to 

> advanced.  All of you qualify. (smiling)

>

> UPDATES:

> Progress reports will be posted in Chip Chats.  It might be in the usual 

> Martin Geisler-Moroder article or under separate post.  But DO look for 

> project updates in Chip Chats.

>

> PURPOSE:

> This is what makes this so-o-o special!!!  Everyone who visit's the Ark is 

> asked to make a financial contribution to the organization of the SOS 

> Children's Villages worldwide.  http://www.sos-childrensvillages.org  All 

> monies raised will go to that charity.  It is for the children's 

> orphanages.  That is why Geisler-Moroder chose the Noah's Ark 

> theme...meaning protection and safety...the same for the children as the 

> creatures on Noah's Ark.

>

> DEADLINE???

> Geisler-Moroder would like to make a big presentation in the fall of 2006 

> HOWEVER, this project will be on on-going project.  Also, you are free to 

> submit as many animals as you desire.
