Mandala rangoli: twelve-petal mandala, sun mandala, star mandala

Mandala rangoli for makers who like geometry, building the design ring by ring from the centre outward with even symmetry. The three designs are a twelve-petal mandala, a sun mandala with straight and wavy rays, and an eight-pointed star nested in a circle. Each comes in coloured powder, in rows of dots on a dark floor, and in fine white lines with coloured fills. A different geometry, such as sixteen petals, can be typed in as a request.

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep the symmetry even?

Start at the centre and build each ring outward, giving every ring the same number of repeats. The fine line finish shows the rings most clearly.

What is the difference between the three finishes?

Coloured powder gives crisp flat fills, dot work is built from rows of small coloured dots on a dark floor, and fine lines are white powder rings with coloured fills between them.

Can I ask for a different geometry?

Yes. Type the design you want. A new design is a request, 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.
