Artsy Wedding?

Yesterday I went to the Foundry Art Center in downtown St. Charles. Its a local art museum/studio that holds wedding receptions on the weekends. I had heard wonderful things about it and wanted to check it out. It is so unique which is what I want. They also book up really fast. I talked to them early last week and they still had 2 weekends in April open, but on Saturday both of those weekends were on hold. Told you it is popular! We will make a decision on that soon I hope. Just need to figure out if its the best fit and make Mike check it out too.


I also enjoyed going to the art center just to look at the art, too. I pretend I'm an amateur artist because I take pictures and draw and stuff. I know my silly PowerPoint drawings won't quite make it in to art museums, but its still fun to and say I'm an artist. I actually thought about submitting a few photos to an art contest at the St. Peters Community Art Center on Mid Rivers. They had a contest for photos with a travel theme. I took a ton of photos in Italy and Australia last year, since it was the first time to either place. I really liked some of the ones I took in Italy and photoshopped them a bit. I thought they looked cool because I upped the contrast a lot and played with the color. They looked neat to me and I was really going to submit them, but chickened out at the last minute. A silly voice in my head kept saying...What if they don't fit the theme, what if people laugh at them because they are too photoshoppy...The voice won and I procrastinated too long to do anything. Oh well, maybe next time. I decided to post them on my blog and maybe that will help me get my confidence up.
