Lisette Root resides with her husband in Omak, Washington, in the foothills of the mighty Cascade Mountains. Her days are filled with artwork, home making, and caring for the many formerly homeless animals that she and her husband have rescued over the years. While living in Alaska for many years, she and her family had many exciting adventures mining for gold. Most of the time she home schooled their two daughters, Bonnie and Silver, and they had plenty of time to try new arts and crafts together. They took their animal family of wolves and cats with them on their adventures , which was actually an adventure in itself! Now, her home base is Malott Washington, and there will be lots more adventures to come!


  Today had so much going on, I have two beauties of the day to share! This spectacular little butterfly was newly hatched and so very brilliant! I have a special silk shirt I wear when the butterflies are feeding. It is cream with jagged little tiger stripes of brown, and I think I look like just so much background to a butterfly, or bee, and if I am lucky I can sneak up on them and get some very close pictures of them, perfect for a new beaded  butterfly barrette! Black and white polka dots don't seem to bother them either. The deer were in the front yard after sampling a nibble or two from my garden ( they are actually very polite, and only take a nibble or two ). I saw one nibble on my radish plants which are going to seed, and so I thought hey, is it edible? The seed pods were swollen but not hard , I tasted it and it was quite delecious, much more tender than the actual radish, with a delicate crunch. I bet those would make amazing little radish pod pickles! It is overly warm here right now, but it sure does make the plants grow like crazy! My neighbor and I traded fresh produce today, so I have cherries, apricots, beans and chard from her and she got fresh cilantro, parsley and dill, and a jar of dried pea pods. The dried chinese snow peas are just amazing! A totally healthy yummy guiltfree snack, and true concentrated survival food too. I'm hungry now after tasting those cherries! Goodnight from up the Chilowist, Lisette

A Little About Me

Welcome to MelangeByLisette, I hope you find something interesting within... I love all forms of Art, and I have a great desire to try my hand at whatever captures my interest. I do not believe in mediocrity, or carelessness. When I create something myself, or when I am drawn to other artists works, I want to see a small piece of that persons soul in their work. I want to be able to feel and see the time of creation it took to bring forth a piece of art (any kind of art). After all, to me, this is what brings meaning to my life. The time it took to create a thing is non refundable, but extremely valuable. To love and to be loved, and to share that love with others, with art, for instance, is why I want to wake each morning. I truly love our planet Earth, and when I use her resources, it matters how I do so. I will always strive to do no harm. I am of course drawn to others who share this philosophy, and I seek them out if possible. In this last year, I needed to learn to use a computer to share my artwork. I don't drive, and I am a bit of a happy hermit, and I knew nothing whatsoever about computers and I would have been lost without the loving and extremely patient help from my sister Laura, who helped me every step of the way, thank you sister! I honestly did not believe I could do it, but here I am! My store is located on ETSY, and it is simply amazing, and I feel comfortable and happy there, and I feel privileged to be a very small part of it. I try to reuse, repurpose, and recycle whenever I can. I am always experimenting to that end. I am happy to share ideas whenever possible, and am open to creating special request items. What an amazing thing to be in touch with so many artists, tradesmen, and the whole wide world! Wow! I hope you enjoy my blog and my shop, which will have new works as often as possible. Sincerely, Lisette
