The Diva's challenge this week has been to use Reticula as
your string, and fragments as the tangles. It helps if you have
Rick and Maria's latest book: Zentangle Primer, Vol. I.
Basically: Draw a grid (reticula) and fill each space with a
design/tangle (fragment) and then repeat that design
throughout the grid.
I chose Reticula RA-3 because I thought it would add some
interest, and Fragment Q3, but it also caused some distortion.
So I kept the same reticula (just stubborn, I guess) and tried it
with Fragment E4. This pattern didn't distort quite as much:
I really like this concept; I just need to play around with it a bit
more to get some better results. But for now these will do.
Be sure to visit the Diva's site to see the other wonderful entries; it's amazing how different all the responses are. Maybe you'll be inspired to try out one of the Challenges yourself.
It is very interesting and surprising when you have chosen a fragment to discover what the final result would be. You have become 2 nice ones, my favorite is the second one and the shadows are beautiful, in both of them.
