The mantra is lettered in Devanagari as Om Namah Shivaya, ॐ नमः शिवाय. Check the spelling with a teacher before a permanent piece.

Fine line is one uniform hairline with little shading. Blackwork uses heavy solid black masses. Dotwork builds the shadows from dots.

Om, written ॐ in Devanagari, is the sacred sound of Hinduism, worn by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and yoga practitioners on the wrist, the neck or the forearm. The nine sheets show Om rising from a lotus, Om at the centre of a mandala, and Om above the mantra Om Namah Shivaya. Each is drawn as fine line, blackwork and dotwork. Type a different sacred word or twist, such as a trishul, and the same styles can be asked for.

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.
