Freehand rangoli: paisleys, peacock feather swirl, flowering vine wreath

Freehand rangoli for people who draw without a dot grid, letting the powder flow into curves straight from the hand. The three designs are a run of large curling paisleys, three peacock feathers swirling out from a centre, and a round wreath of a flowering vine. Each comes in coloured powder with soft blended edges, in flower petals laid in flowing curves, and in fine coloured sand. A different subject can be typed in as a request.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a dot grid?

No. These designs are drawn without a grid, so the curves are set by the hand rather than by dots.

What is the difference between powder, petals and sand?

Coloured powder gives soft blended edges, petals are laid by hand in overlapping shapes, and sand gives sharp thin lines and smooth filled curves.

Can I ask for an elephant?

Yes. Type the subject you want. A new subject is a request, not a promised result.

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.
