We give the first example of a mosaic of three combinatorial designs with distinct parameters $2$-$(13,3,1)$, $2$-$(13,4,2)$, and $2$-$(13,6,5)$. Furthermore, we give examples of mosaics of $2$-$(9,3,2)$ designs that are not resolvable, thereby answering a question posed by M. Wiese and H. Boche. Finally, we give an example of a mosaic of projective planes of order $3$ that cannot be obtained by tiling groups with difference sets.
