Are moody violas just for spring or can they be for any season? You decide.

Creating a repeating design with moody flowers that works for printing on fabric required softening the outlines of each design element and creating a subdued color palette. For an added layer of interesting complexity, I turned the whole design into outlines and made them translucent. Then, I layered the violas on top.

I created this moody violas fabric design a while ago for an art challenge, but now I’ve improved on it with twelve fresh background colors and new textures.

This bonus sketched viola design isn’t moody, but it’s so pretty that I had to include it here.
