What size do these print at?

Each pattern is composed as a repeating quarter-turn unit, matching the standard eight-inch encaustic tile format.

Can I get a different motif, like a Cuban tile look or a trellis?

Yes — the direction field takes any motif, and the same field-border-corner structure renders it.

Why does the pattern repeat in a four-tile block?

Encaustic patterns are drawn as a quadrant that completes only once four tiles meet, each turned a quarter — that's how the real material is laid.

What's the difference between the three colorways?

Each motif renders in three palettes — an earth-tone traditional set, a cooler modern set and a high-contrast black and white set.

Encaustic tile patterns: Moroccan, Victorian, checkerboard

Encaustic tiles — A Moroccan geometric: interlacing eight-point stars and elongated hexagons drawn with bands of even width, the bands weaving over and under one another, small squares filling the interstices, the whole locking into a continuous lattice, encaustic cement tile in two flat matte colours, no gloss, edges very slightly soft where the pigment met the mould

Reading 1Moroccan geometric

Reading 2Victorian mission

Reading 3Checkerboard

A cement tile is eight inches square and matte, and the pattern is almost never contained in one tile — four tiles, each turned a quarter, complete the motif. These nine render a Moroccan geometric, a Victorian mission pattern and a checkerboard quadrant, each with field, border and corner. Ask for a different motif — a Cuban tile look, a trellis, a floral medallion — and the same quarter-turn structure carries it.

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.
