11 dot rangoli: parrots, lotus pond and flowering vine on an eleven-dot grid

11 dot rangoli for experienced rangoli makers who draw on the eleven-to-six grid for a large festival kolam. The three designs are two parrots facing each other on a branch, three lotuses on pads with a fish, and a looping vine of leaves and buds. Each is drawn in bold black line, in fine double lines, and in white chalk on a black slate. A different design can be typed in as a request.

Frequently asked questions

Is this grid for beginners?

It is for makers who already draw a dot grid. A beginner may start with a smaller grid, such as the four-dot or five-dot.

What is the eleven-to-six grid?

A grid of dots eleven across and six down, which gives a wide design for a festival kolam.

Can I ask for an elephant?

Yes. Type the subject you want. A new subject is a request, not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
