The feather repeat draws the barb, not the bird: a shaft with barbs combed out either side, split where they part, laid in rows. These nine hold a plain quill reading, a guinea-fowl spot version and a peacock-eye version, the same barb grammar at different scales. Ask for a different feather colour and the same row structure carries it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each feather field is a seamless surface repeat at A3 proportions, printing clean at A4 or scaling to fabric yardage.
Can I get a different feather colour?
Yes — name any colour, and the same shaft-and-barb structure renders it.
What's the difference between the three readings?
Quill keeps a plain shaft-and-barb feather; guinea-fowl adds the small round spot marking; peacock scales the same grammar up into an eye-shaped marking.
Are guinea-fowl spots and peacock eyes really the same underlying pattern?
Yes — both are the same barb-and-shaft grammar at a different scale, which is why this set can render either from one shared structure.

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.
