Does it look three-dimensional on skin?

The drawings use shading to suggest depth. On skin the effect depends on how the cone is pressed and how the paste sits.

What is the difference between the styles?

Line shaded uses bold outlines with graded parallel lines, dot shaded uses fine outlines with stippled dots, and henna brown darkens the petals toward their bases.

Can I change the subject?

Yes. Type a subject of your own and the shading is drawn with it, as a request rather than a fixed result.

Are these pictures of real skin?

No. They are drawings on white paper showing each design over a hand outline.

3D mehndi design: raised rose, curled leaves, layered lotus

3D mehndi — a large rose on the back of the hand with each petal shaded dark at its base and light at its rim, bold black outlines with petals shaded in graded parallel lines, dark at the base and light at the rim, layered so the forms seem to lift off the skin

Type a subject of your own, such as a peacock, and the shading is drawn with it as a request.

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.
