Reading 3Uyirmei row

Tamil letter charts for a child starting to read, for homes and classrooms in Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka and abroad. One shows the twelve uyir vowels, each with a small picture such as a goat for aa. One shows the eighteen mei consonants, each with its pulli dot. One shows the uyirmei row, ka joined to every vowel. You can also type a twist, such as with fruit, and the charts are drawn 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.
