Nowruz egg designs: tile, paisley, floral

Egg designs for the eggs set on the haft-sin table, for a family or class to copy with paint or markers. Each sheet shows three eggs in one pattern: tile work with stars and knots, paisley with boteh shapes, or roses and tulips with vines. The three finishes show each pattern as flat vector, gouache paint and a child's felt-tip marker. Type a single colour or a different egg count and the pattern is drawn to match.

Frequently asked questions

Are these photographs of real eggs?

No. They are illustrations of decorated eggs, made to be copied by hand.

How many eggs are on a sheet?

Three in each pattern. Each picture shows a few eggs at a time, so you can copy them one by one.

Which finish is easiest for a child to copy?

The felt-tip marker finish, drawn with thick simple lines and bold dotted fills.

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.
