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!


It is nearly Christmas and I am so happy we are through the tunnel!  Today was a diamond in the snow day for a few hours this morning, and tonight it is supposed to freeze hard, so I know tomorrow will be another diamond day. I love trying to capture the lovely rainbow prisms with my camera. I have WAY too many pictures in my files, but photography is an addiction! I bought a little present for my sweetie, two beautiful ACEO pictures of chihuahuas, painted by a wonderful artist, Ron Krajewski,  of dogsartstudio on ETSY. I am going to buy several for my father too! Another big talent on ETSY, what a great place to look for serious art! Well, now we know what a horse who has twisted his back acts like,poor baby! Our horse Shadow slipped on the ice while bucking around for fun. He enjoys bucking at the snow or rain, but it will be a while for that. He is getting better(thankfully) but he does not like his medicine! It is scary when these things happen, and give me a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach! One of my chihuahuas (Angelina) choked tonight while barking with food in her mouth, and it was a close thing! I pounded her back, did a firm but restrained shaking, and stuck my finger down and sideways when she could not get air. I think it forced her to swallow the food and it is possible a little went down the windpipe.  I gave her a dose of baby benadryl, and we will watch her closely. Thank goodness one of those things worked. Hairy children I tell you! I have lots of hairy children! Well, Merry Christmas everyone! I am going to post a few pictures, of diamond snow, and newborn beans, just for fun! 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
