Reading 3Sun face

Designs for a patang, the Indian fighter kite, to paint or paste on for Uttarayan or Sankranti, or to draw for a school kite competition. Each picture is one kite seen flat: a two-colour patang with a moon at its centre, a peacock kite with its tail fanned across the diamond, or a kite with a smiling sun. Type a different design, such as a tiger, and the kite is made to that request.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a template I can cut out?
No. The pictures show the design on a single kite; they are not cut-out sheets.
What is the difference between the three styles?
Tissue paper shows cut pieces pasted over a frame with translucent overlaps; poster colours shows flat painted shapes with a dark outline; crayon drawing shows a school drawing in wax crayon and marker.
Can I change the design?
Yes. Type a different design, such as a tiger or a moon, and the kite is made to that 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.
