How much of the palm does each design cover?

The first is one central motif, the second an arch with a band at the wrist, and the third covers the whole palm.

What is the difference between the styles?

Bold black uses thick outlines and a few solid shapes, fine detail packs the palm with fine line work, and henna brown shows the reddish stroke of dried henna.

Can I change the subject?

Yes. Type a subject of your own and the palm is drawn with it, as a request rather than a fixed result.

Are these drawn on real hands?

No. Each is a drawing on white paper, showing the design on an open hand outline.

The palm side is where henna stains darkest, and where a bride's design traditionally sits. The designs run from a large round motif with filled fingertips, to an arch filled with checks above a band of flowers, to a whole palm covered in lotus, paisley and net. Type a subject of your own, such as a peacock or a forearm, and the palm is drawn with it as a request.

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.
