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 hard to believe we have been here in O'Brien for a month. Time is a fluid, I am thinking, with rapids, eddies, whirlpools and the like. It must be, just close your eyes, and count to three. Viola', you are a different person than you were three seconds ago! Some moments seem so very fleeting, and others so very long. We went to a gem and mineral show today, in Medford Oregon. It is so very strange to realize the time involved in the creation of gemstones and minerals, and what brief snatches of time we humans live in. To hold a gem or fossil in your hand, to actually observe such a thing, really puts into perspective the thing we call time. I am so very glad that this is my time! And your time, as well! I am sharing a picture I took, on the banks of the Illinois River, on the 20th of April. I believe it is a type of lily, and it was so beautiful it took my breath away! My husband ordered me a very nice tripod, made of repositional polymer, so you can imagine my delight! I need to get more inks and paper, before it gets here! This is such a strange and beautiful place. The trees around us are over a hundred feet tall, a lot of them, and just a few miles down the road are the giant redwoods. If you have not seen them in person, I truly hope someday you can. They are magical, and some of them are so very old, I felt such great patience and peacefulness from them, and it made me wish that I could speak "tree":) Maybe some day... Goodnight from Indian Hill Ranch, just down the road from O'Brien, and up the road from Happy Camp...:)

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
