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!


Time, totally subjective,always fluid,yet meaningful, truly meaningful, only on a personal level. My view of an hour compared to that of the spider living in my bathrooms' view of an hour. Totally different, totally real. Awesome!  I think every now and then, we catch a glimpse of the eternal, mostly by serendipity. Last year this blossom called to me with a glow of its own, a hollyhock incredibly alive! ( beacon to the heart of the universe, portal 1 , 7/13/08, open at  6:52 pm). Yesterday this other beacon, a morning glory, showed another portal to the heart of the universe,( beacon to the heart of the universe, portal 2 , 7/21/09 , open at 7:28 am). Yesterday was very interesting due to the solar eclipse and the giant crash spot on Jupiter, a very electric day! It was hot here today, about 100 degrees, but we had a steady breeze witch helps a lot. I hang shade clothes up for the critters in summer, and I wet them often, this really helps a lot to keep them comfortable. The garden is whipping my butt! Hot weather speeds everything up in the plant world, so you must watch carefully so their needs are met. Time seems to drag to us mammals, and we all need lots of tending through the hot times too. Please everyone, be careful in these hot days and look out for the vulnerable souls in your life. I just had an idea. A low tech idea for times there is no power, such as a brown out. Use the pump up sprayers used to apply insecticide as emergency misters. Misters can lower the air tempurature over 20 degrees instantly( at least in a dry or semi dry climate). Perhaps it could use a larger pump up system run by say, a bicycle. Sounds good right now! Please, send positive thoughts to all people suffering from the heat, and all the creatures too. 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
