What size do these print at?

Each render is composed at a clean square-friendly crop, suited to a print, a poster or a shadow box reference.

Can I get a different subject, like an animal or a landscape?

Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same three paper treatments render it.

What's the difference between the three treatments?

Smooth card gives crisp clean-edged layers, kraft shows a warmer fibrous texture, and the lit shadow box adds depth with visible cast shadows between layers.

Is this a real cut object or a rendered image?

It's a rendered image styled to look like stacked paper layers — there's no physical object made or photographed.

A paper cut is depth built from flat sheets: silhouettes stacked, each casting a small shadow on the one below. These nine render a whale, a letter and a forest, each in smooth card, kraft and a lit shadow box. Ask for a different subject — an animal, a monogram, a landscape — and the same three paper treatments carry it.

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.
