Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?
Three cloth scenes: the goddess at the centre with devotees around her, the goddess seated on her animal, and a procession of devotees, musicians and a bullock cart.
How do the three cloths differ?
The white cloth has red and black figures on undyed cotton, the red cloth has white and black figures on deep madder red, and the black cloth has white and red figures on black.
Can I ask for a different figure or view?
Yes. Type the change as a direction, such as tiger 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.
