Frequently asked questions

What does Indo-Arabic mean here?
It means a design that joins the bold flowing trail of Arabic mehndi with the fine nets and paisleys of Indian mehndi.
What is the difference between the styles?
Fine fill packs the petals with netting, airy leaves wide bare areas between shapes, and henna brown shows the reddish stroke of dried henna.
Can I change the subject?
Yes. Type a subject of your own and the design 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 over a hand outline.

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.
