The Arts and Crafts repeat was drawn to be hand block printed: a bold structure in front — acanthus, willow, or a thistle scroll — with a quieter net behind it, so the eye keeps moving and never finds the join. These nine render all three structures, each in three colourways. Ask for a different leaf structure and the same three colourways carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each pattern is drawn at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.
Can I ask for a different leaf structure?
Yes — the direction field takes a different structure, such as a rose or a vine, and the same three colourways render it.
What's the difference between the three colourways?
Each colourway keeps the same two-layer structure and swaps the front-and-net colours, from a deep traditional set to a lighter modern one.
Is this respectful of real Arts and Crafts textile traditions?
The set draws on the hand-block-print, two-layer repeat technique of the English Arts and Crafts movement as a style reference for a generated pattern, not a reproduction of any specific historic design or its rights holder.

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.
