Christmas rangoli for the doorstep, the way families in Kerala, Goa, Mumbai and Tamil Nadu lay one for the holiday. The three designs are a hanging star lantern, a tiered Christmas tree and two bells beside a candle. Each comes in coloured powder with crisp edges, in hand-laid flower petals and in dot work on a dark floor. Type a different subject, such as a snowman or a reindeer, and the same finishes can be asked to carry it.

  • a doorstep design for Christmas morning
  • a Christmas party or office floor
  • a classroom display for the holiday
  • a festive print for a wall

Frequently asked questions

Can I copy the dot work version on paper?
Yes. The dot work design is a grid of small dots with lines looping round them, so it is the easiest of the three to copy. The powder and petal versions are finished pictures to follow.
Can I ask for a different subject?
Yes. Type the subject you want, such as a snowman. The nine pictures here are the nine shown, and a new subject is a request, not a promised result.
What is the difference between the three finishes?
Coloured powder gives crisp flat fills with thin white outlines. Flower petals are laid by hand and look softer. Dot work is built from rows of small coloured dots on a dark floor.

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.
