i went to visit rosanna's mom last week to make her a website.
to start us off right, go check it out and then come back to read and look.
>>> janaijian.com!
her mom welds mermaids and godesses from huge ocean buoys,
yes, she welds. 
she, is, a, welder.

she needed a new website, so i went up to their home in arroyo grande to photograph her art, photograph her MAKING her art, and to create a website using a rad template from the company who made MY blog----  into the darkroom.  start to finish, we completed the site in a weekend.  we even created her logo, and dreamed up the branding.  it was like heaven for me.  i love doing that kind of thing, especially for people i know and love.

now i need to tell you....
yes, her welding is her art....
but jan seriously makes all parts of her world an opportunity to create.
her meals are art, down to the dishes
she designed her house (yes, the floorplan)
and did custom painting on the ceiling of the living room,
bought everything down to the tiles off of ebay from spain and france,
and has given me the gift of some new favorite authors from her eclectic book collection.

i am going to show you these photos in kind of a random sequence,
a melding of all of her worlds:::  cooking, art, her dog sophie, the house, the shop....
so here you go :) enjoy.
