by Mosaic Lane · 100 Color by Number Mystery Mosaics

100 hidden pictures that appear square by square.

Every square has a code that names one pen and one mark. Follow the codes and a picture you have not seen yet appears, from landmarks to animals.

  • 100 mystery mosaics: world landmarks, animals, flowers, objects and night skies
  • The same ten pen colors for the whole book, named on every key page
  • Six simple marks: dot, slash, back-slash, cross, star and fill in
  • Every page also works with one pen, as a soft grey-tone picture
  • A warm-up mosaic to start, and all 100 solutions at the back

Questions

Which pens do I need?

Ten standard colors: Black, Purple, Blue, Light Blue, Green, Light Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and Pink. Any gel pens, felt tips or colored pencils in these shades will do, and each key page lists the pens that picture needs.

Can I use just one pen?

Yes. Ignore the color names and draw only the marks. The marks carry the light and shade, so every page also comes out as a soft grey-tone picture. The solutions at the back are shown that way.

How big are the squares?

Each mosaic is a grid of 42 by 56 squares (2,352 in all), and each square is about 4.5 mm wide. The book is made for gel pens, felt tips or colored pencils.

Will ink bleed onto my next picture?

No mosaic sits behind another. The page behind every grid is a key page, so if a pen bleeds through, it lands on a list of color names, not on your next mosaic.
