Batik design: parang stripes, peacock and vines, hung sarong

Batik design is wax resist on cloth from Java to West Africa: a parang diagonal of curved blades, a peacock among flowering vines, a sarong hung in a courtyard. These nine render each as Javanese tulis, West African wax print and indigo crackle. Ask for an elephant instead and the same three traditions carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?

Each pattern is drawn on a square canvas with an even margin, so it prints clean at A4 or tiles for a tablecloth print.

Can I get a different motif, like an elephant?

Yes — the direction field takes any motif, such as an elephant instead of the peacock, and the same three batik traditions render it.

What's the difference between the three batik styles?

Javanese tulis is fine hand-drawn wax line in indigo and soga brown; West African wax uses bold flat colour blocks; indigo crackle shows the fractured lines where the wax resist broke during dyeing.

Does the pattern tile seamlessly for fabric printing?

The patterns are drawn full-bleed and repeat cleanly enough for a swatch reference, though they are not pre-tiled seamless files.

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. 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.
