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!


   Greetings from eastern Washington state! It sure has been amazingly hot, and will be for a few more days. We have had some breaks from the heat with thunderstorms, but then you have fires to deal with! My animals and the garden need constant attention right now, and the garden is producing so well, my freezer is loaded. I'm going to make jelly tomorrow, and that will free up some freezer space. I think I have about 25 pounds of raspberries and currants, I'm curious to see how many jars of jelly that will be! I'm sending lots of it to family this year, at Christmas time. I bought the supplies to make dill and bread and butter pickles, something I have never done before, but I want to try my hand at pickled baby vegetables!  The butterfly and flower photography has been truly spectacular these last few days, I have loads of awesome pictures to work with! I am going to be offering beading kits, which I will put together myself,  for sale, and there will be lots of pretty kits to pick from! I am also going to be offering crazy quilted panels, ready for you to embellish, probably pillow size at first. Crazy quilting is very rewarding, but it can be very daunting learning the construction techniques, so I will do the hard work, so you can get right to the embellishing... I will be calling these "Crazy For You" panels, and they will be available through my ETSY store, and my blogspot also. Have a lovely weekend everyone, we'll talk again soon! Goodbye, from up the Chiliwist, 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
