How far up the arm does the design go?

The drawings show the hand and forearm, and the first design runs to the elbow.

What is the difference between the styles?

Bold black uses thick outlines and a few solid shapes, fine detail packs the coverage 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 coverage is drawn with it, as a request rather than a fixed result.

Are these drawn on real arms?

No. Each is a drawing on white paper, showing the design over a hand and forearm outline.

Full hand mehndi runs from the fingertips past the wrist, often to the elbow: the coverage for a wedding, a bride's sister, or a big festival. The designs are stacked bands of flowers, nets and paisleys to the elbow, a peacock filling the forearm, and a hand and forearm divided into framed panels. Type a subject of your own, such as a lotus or a doli, and the coverage 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.
