JaysMandalas

Typical time needed for a custom order is 2 weeks. As always, it is best to convo me for my current estimate to finish any custom order.

Want to give one of my mandalas as a gift, but don't know what your intended gifted one might want? Consider one of my custom gift certificate just for this shop, in any amount. Convo me for details. OR email me at jay [!at] ojos-de-dios.com. Two sample gift certificates can be seen at the top of my shop listings.

Free with every purchase: my pdf instructions, so you can see how the mandalas are made, and learn to make them yourselves if interested. Regular price: $9.00. A link for downloading the pdf is included in the etsy email message that is automatically sent with every purchase from this shop.



I've been making Ojos de Dios ever since after seeing such yarn and stick mandalas in 1966, in almost the exact form, made by both Huicholi natives of Mexico, and monks from Tibet. Later I made many Ojos de Dios (Spanish for Eyes of God) in a Navajo 8-sided design, when "ojos" were a popular folk art in the 1970's American Southwest. Much more recently I've mostly made 12-sided Ojos de Dios, which I believe can represent a whole panorama of spiritual cosmologies ..... although for myself, I create these for artistic satisfaction rather than as any sort of spiritual talisman.

All my creations are made in a smoke free and pet loving environment. The one cat that lives in the house is mostly kept out of my studio.

For more, see "Ojo de Dios", on Wikipedia.
