Weekly Challenge #294: Reticula/Fragment Beginning


"Reticula and Fragments" is the theme of this new challenge. Rick and Maria introduced these two terms in their new book Zentangle Primer Volume 1.


Laura in her blog explains it like that :
"Reticula is the term for a grid, but not just the square grid like the checkerboard, but an encompassing term for all the zentangle grids. ... So with Reticula being the term for grids, fragments, then, are the pattern drawn inside each square or facet of the grid. "

I have not yet read this book but it made me want to buy it. I'm waiting for it.

Here is a quite complicated grid that I discovered on a ceramic :


the fragment i used:


and the final work:


Thank you very much for your comment. Have a good week!

  1. That's so beautiful. That is a very interesting grid, but the resulting look is stunning. Great shading and contrast between dark and light.

    I need to play with this fragment / reticula idea - it looks like infinite fun.
