Ojo de Dios, or the plural, Ojos de Dios
( the Spanish *j* is silent, or a light *h* sound, so roughly pronounced
*oh-ho's-day-DEE-ohs*), which is Spanish for Eye of God, or Eyes of God were a popular
folk art in the American Southwest during the 1970's, and I sold many hundreds to "trading posts" and
tourist gift shops in and around Albuquerque during that time. My original inspiration came from seeing
such mandalas made by Huicholes of the remote mountains in central Mexico, and later seeing amazingly
similar yarn and stick creations woven by Tibetans. Currently I'm mostly weaving 12-sided designs, and
draw much inspiration from weavers showcasing their work on facebook.
