How do the three dye styles differ?

The natural dye version is madder red, indigo, ochre and black on unbleached cotton, the indigo version is white resist lines on deep indigo, and the fresh version is yellow, green and coral on cream.

Can I ask for a different peacock?

Yes. Type the change as a direction, such as white bird or border only. It is a request for that look, 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.
