can somebody explain to me where the pixels are?

Apparently the perception of the textile works different from ours, nicecolours.
I don't like the colours and the name 'scales rug' would be more appropiate.

"Pixel" comes from "picture element". Pixels are not required to be square, and often are not. Many displays have oblong pixel shapes, for example.

So in this case the "elements" are scale shaped. I'm wondering what's the picture?

When I squint my eyes I see a Muppet playing guitar. I like it.
