The solid, filled round motif at the centre of the bold stall design.

How does the stencil work?

Every motif is a solid black shape joined to the others by small bridges, so the stencil lifts in one piece.

Are these designs quick?

Yes. They are the kind finished in a few minutes at a stall or at home.

Can I ask for a different hand or design?

Yes. Type a direction such as on feet and the hand is drawn for it. That is a request, not a promised result.

Quick mehndi designs for Chand Raat, the night before Eid, when the moon is sighted and the bazaars fill with bangles and mehndi stalls. The sheets show designs of the kind done in a few minutes: one large round flower with a line of dots to the wrist, a band drawn like stacked bangles, a thin crescent and stars over the knuckles. Each comes as a fine cone line, a bold tikki or a stencil.

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.
