Can I copy these with rice flour?

The dotted muggulu style is drawn as white rice-flour lines looped round a grid of dots, so it suits copying by hand; the coloured powder and drawn chart styles show the finished look.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Coloured powder shows heaped powder with soft edges; dotted muggulu shows white lines round a dot grid; the drawn chart is flat shapes with thin separating lines.

Can I change the subject?

Yes. Type a different subject or twist, such as a peacock or blue and gold, and the design 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.
