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 sure seems to be whizzing by quickly, just look how big the bunnies are already! I truly hope that they are the same sex so I can focus all my love on them:) I am trying to tame them so they come to me, but it is slow going, they really are timid by nature, but, they don't bite me when I catch them, and they have big teeth! They do have big hind feet with very sharp claws, and it they are scared they scratch really hard, just to get away. They are so soft! Yangs' fur is a little coarser than Yins', but both have lovely fur. I love to just sit and watch them eat and groom each other, it's soothing. They don't smell bad up close, and they don't have stinky poo, but boy, they sure make a lot of it! Altogether delightful creatures. I believe time, food and patience will be my best tactics to tame them, (just like husbands!) lol! In my personal experience, feral felines are the hardest to tame, even though you know they love you, it is difficult for them to trust us humans. Heck,I don't trust those humans either! I know my own behavior resembles that of the wolves I adore, and a bit of the cat also. Today the wind blew like mad for an hour or two, and it really got cold a few moments before sunset. It has been above normal for several days, so I still feel lucky! It is supposed to drop some very wet and slushy snow for the next 4 or 5 days, I actually think that would be good for my plants, since the land is still so dry. I am considering planting a few seeds if the snow doesn't stick. Maybe some onion, chive, and lettuce and greens. Well, the baked talapia is almost finished, so I need to make some tartar sauce! That was good, I used pork flavored generic shake and bake, and baked the fillets for 14 minutes, at 375 degrees, on a baking sheet with parchment paper. The fillets were fairly thin, it was just perfect. I need to go feed Mr. Hyde, he loves fish! It is time to settle the inside family down, and I hope to finish my newest miniature vignette, of irises and forget-me-nots, silk ribbon and traditional embroidery, on a background of white velvet. It's movie time, End of Days is coming on! Goodnight 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
