Is the prompt text already written?

The prompt band is blank — the picture is the prompt itself. Add a written question if you want one, or let students respond directly to the image.

What's the difference between the three readings?

A fantastical scene for imaginative writing, a real-world scene for everyday narrative writing, and a picture-and-caption strip sized for younger writers who need less lined space.

Can I request a specific scene or topic?

Yes — type a different scene through the direction field and the picture redraws to match.

How much writing space is on each page?

Lined space fills the lower portion of the page beneath the picture and prompt band, sized generously for a full journal entry.

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.
