Reading 1Card rhino
Reading 2Letter G
Reading 3Playhouse

Corrugated card shows its flutes at every cut, and that stripe is the medium's signature. These nine render a rhino, a letter and a playhouse, each in bare kraft, poster paint over the ridges, and white-lined board. Ask for a different subject — an animal, a monogram, a structure — and the same three surfaces carry it.

  • a kids' room print
  • a poster or wall art print
  • a greeting card design
  • a craft or maker project reference

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each render is composed at a clean square-friendly crop, suited to a print, a poster or a craft project reference.
Can I get a different subject, like an animal or a structure?
Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same three surfaces render it.
What's the difference between the three surfaces?
Bare kraft shows the raw brown cardboard and its flutes, poster paint over the ridges lets colour catch on the corrugation, and white-lined board hides the flutes under a smooth printed face.
Is this a real built model or a rendered image?
It's a rendered image styled to look like built cardboard — there's no physical model made or photographed.

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.
