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, are made from
yarn and sticks by native peoples of Mexico and South America. Indians of
the United States Southwest adopted the craft more recently, and the eight
sided mandala of the Navajo is the basic pattern that I've most often used myself.
For now, however, I've moved on to twelve sided creations.
