Reading 1Gol tikki
Reading 2Chunky checks
Reading 3Nineties bride

The mehndi mothers wore at nineties weddings, back in fashion. These nine show a palm with a large solid gol tikki circle, the back of a hand in bold henna checks with filled triangles at the knuckles, and a bride's hand heavy with dense mango and flower henna. Each is shown as a 35mm colour print, a posed wedding album portrait or a still from a home video. Type a different design, and the same looks carry it.

  • A nineties style wedding
  • A retro mehndi night
  • A vintage look for a party
  • A reference for an artist

Frequently asked questions

What is a gol tikki?
A gol tikki is a solid henna circle in the palm, the old-style pattern the first picture shows.
Are these photographs of real weddings?
No. They are generated pictures styled to look like nineties film prints, album portraits and home video stills.
Can I ask for a different design?
Yes. Type it as a direction; the result is a request, not a promised match to these nine.

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.
