5 out of 5 starsBeautiful piece. The artist was very communicative throughout the process, focusing her creative process on the piece's eventual home (both space and person). She also patiently worked with me on the custom size for the space and it made for a perfect piece.

5 out of 5 starsI can highly recommend ordering from Jays Mandalas. I ordered the Sunshine to the Heart mandala and I was kept informed through the whole process of when it was started, completed, and when it would arrive. The quality is excellent and what I got was exactly what was pictured. No second thoughts at all. If you see something you like on their website then go for it!!

-------
We have apprenticed with Jay Mohler who has honed the craft of weaving with yarn and dowels to a highly regarded art form.
Our vision is to give this art form visibility in the community where we live in Asheville, North Carolina and around the world. Our goal is to keep Jay's work alive by continuing to create his most popular pieces for those who would love to have their own as well as expressing our own individual creativity.
Our work is currently for sale on Etsy via OjosDeDiosShop and in shops around Asheville, North Carolina.
We each have our own style and unique voice in this work. We are committed to the highest quality work and guarantee it 100%. We work meticulously to create art that will last a lifetime.
About Founder, Jay Mohler:
Jay was fortunate to be a part of the 1970's great popularity of this folk art in our American Southwest, when he lived in New Mexico, and sold a great many 8 sided Ojos de Dios to tourist shops and art galleries. The craze ended, and he moved on to sign painting for twenty years, but in 1999 he once again took up weaving yarn mandalas, and had a very satisfying time selling online. He has also taught and inspired many others to start weaving, through both facebook and the etsy shop.
