Alright boys, I apologize for my recent activity but I got an extremely good excuse. Here it is:
I am an aspiring First Nations Artist. I draw, paint and carve everyday. This project was brought to my First Nations Art Class at school and I took it way farther than any of the staff in the class would have thought. I along with 3 other students, have been selected to present a bentwood box and a carved Grizzly bear to the Steven Harper in Ottawa on behalf of every single child in Canada. I am from a small town in BC consisting of only around 1300 people in my town. I am being flown to Ottawa in Ontario for free, and have to make a massive speech to Steven Harper and the government of Canada on Parliament Hill and in the Parliament House. If you live in BC, watch me on TV! I'll be on Global News apparently and I'll be on APTN for sure! Check my out guys! It will mean alot!
So, the reason for my recent unactivity is that I have been preparing to go to Ottawa, memorizing my speechs, practicing them, cleaning and getting my First Nations clothes and regalia in order. I am sorry for not letting anyone know.
I have spoken to Flames, and he has said he would look over my team. I am scheduled to leave on Thursday (6 days away) and be IN Ottawa for 10 days, then when I am back, I have to travel with the Bear and Box around BC for approximately 5 days. So all in all, I will be gone for around 20-25 days. I told RK to remove my mod status while I am gone, and if I'm up to it when I return, I'll take it back.
After I go to bed tonight, I most likely won't be on until after my trip.
For those of you who don't know:
Bentwood box is this:
And here is the actual bear:
Thanks guys.
P.S. I doubt it, but if anyone would like to know more about the project, I can tell.
