ArtWorker, MELTI and Flory24 colours were taken from sample photos and tables — they are approximate. Check the notes against a sample.
Palette and colour
In the Palette window the cards are grouped by technique. The palette sets the layer, background or frame selected in Layers; the style of the whole panel is set with “Set the style of the whole canvas”.
Pick a colour with the colour square in the layer row. Maker palettes offer only their own notes; under the notes are the material description and a “Buy…” link. Free palettes (Smalt, Cobblestone, Blueprint) take any colour.
Materials needed
After a build, the Materials button in the Mosaic window shows for every note: article, tile count, area, share and how much to order. Rows are grouped by material, each with its own total.
- Smalto, glass tile, trencadís — by weight, in whole packs, with a chipping allowance
- Sheet materials (stained glass, metal, wood, plastic, concrete) — in m² of sheet, with an allowance

Weight is an estimate — confirm with the maker.
