About this design
The cassette is a grey rectangle with a bright orange label, a white window with two dark reels and brown tape between them, and the trapezium-shaped base with screw holes along the bottom edge. It is wider than tall, like a real cassette.
How to use it
Use it for a playlist cover, a retro-themed birthday or a music lover’s card. It is a satisfying fuse bead project and a fun patch. Change the label colour and write a title on it in the editor.
Size and bead counts
The picture fills 172 of the 256 squares in its grid, within an area 16 squares wide and 11 tall; the rest stay empty. It uses 7 colours: black 66 (#111111), grey 44 (#666677), orange 32 (#FF8833), white 22 (#FFFFFF), dark brown 4 (#332211), light grey 2 (#BBBBBB), dark grey 2 (#444455). Made with 5 mm fuse beads it measures about 8.0 × 5.5 cm and fits on one standard 29 × 29 pegboard. Stitched on 14-count Aida it is about 2.9 × 2.0 cm, or 3.7 × 2.5 cm on 11-count, so add a few centimetres of fabric on every side for the hoop.
Colour plan
#111111 does the most work, 38% of the 172 pixels, followed by #666677 at 26%. #332211 (4), #BBBBBB (2) and #444455 (2) are used only a little: small details worth marking on the chart so you don't miss them. 33% of the grid is left empty.
Working notes
It is 16 × 16 pixels; at 8× scale it becomes 128 × 128. The busiest row changes colour 14 times.
