Making a Large Fiber Art Wall Hanging - A Creative Journey
Recently, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to create a large fiber art wall hanging for a friend of mine. Join me on this journey, full of ups and downs, twists and turns, lots of learning, cutting, sewing, stitching, ironing, deconstructing and reconstructing. You'll find this process is not always easy, clear, or.... seamless..... but it is so, so worth it.
Cozy up, relax, and enjoy the process.

Calico Flower Studio is a space for reflecting on art + life through the lens of mixed media. I'm Dani Michaux Samson - your humble artist and host. I create abstract, analog mixed media collages with an array of materials that I have collected over the years.
On this channel, you will find that my process is laid back and light on the tutorial front. I'm more of a "think-out-loud" kinda gal. You might hear some tips on technique, but my ultimate goal is to bring you into the mind of an artist and provide a peaceful and thought-provoking experience. Sort of like an art vlog. No expertise necessary.
PS - All completed artworks are approved by my feline studio assistants, Dahlia and Clover. They will often stop by to check on me while I’m filming, so look out!
