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!


So much has happened since my last posting, it is hard to believe! I think we are experiencing an early spring, only a tiny bit of snow is on the ground right now. We have has the least snow I have ever seen this winter, and I really think this will be a drought year here in Eastern Washington. I have been very busy with my arts  and crafts. I have resumed my glass lampwork and am developing some cute new designs, which I am considering naming "grabbys and boos" fun and a little spooky too! I have been teaching myself to dye silk ribbons and it is so much fun! It is so satisfying to use those ribbons in my silk ribbon embroidery and crazy quilting! I am posting 2 glass lampworked beads and a nearly finished crazy quilt, just for fun:) I am going to be a grandmother again! I'm very happy about that! I have also had a request for two twin size log cabin quilts, and so I am adding quilting to my busy schedule, I just wish I didn't have to take the time to sleep, darn it all! It is a love hate relationship! I am going to add silk threads to my stash, and I am really looking forward to embroidering with them. Every type of thread has different properties and I just know silks will be wonderful! Well, time to eat lunch and get ready for the rest of the day, 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
