What size do these print at?

Each design is composed for a standard tea towel panel, roughly twenty by thirty inches, with a clean margin for the hem.

Can I get a different motif, like herbs or a market scene?

Yes — the direction field takes any motif, and the same flat-ink, hemmed-panel structure renders it.

Why only one or two flat inks?

It mirrors how tea towels are actually screen printed — a limited ink count keeps the design crisp and the cost down.

What's the difference between the three treatments?

Each motif renders in three finishes — a single-ink graphic version, a two-ink version and a softer hand-drawn texture.

Tea towel designs: stripe, kitchen novelty, folk motif

Tea towel patterns — A farmhouse stripe running the length of the towel: two wide bands near each end, a pair of hairlines between them, the rest of the cloth left plain, the bands slightly uneven as if woven into the linen rather than printed on it, screen print in two flat inks, hard edges, slight ink texture where the squeegee dragged, no gradients

Reading 3Folk motif

A tea towel is a printed object rather than a length of cloth: roughly twenty by thirty inches, one or two flat inks, a print area the press can hold and a margin for the hem. These nine render a stripe, a kitchen novelty and a folk motif at that scale. Ask for a different motif — herbs, a market scene, a monogram — and the same flat-ink structure carries it.

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.
