Ojo de Dios is a weaving meditation mandala, à sacred art object many Native American People's make them.

Used for protection and purification and as portals between the spiritual and material worlds.

Ojo de Dios weaving is a craft that involves weaving a colorful design from yarn onto a cross-shaped stick. The name translates to "Eye of God" in Spanish. The Huichol people of Mexico originally created the craft as a spiritual tool for protection and prayer. The Huichol called their God's Eyes Tsikuri, which means "the power to see and understand things unknown". 

This Ojo de Dios was the first one I made in 2015.

In 2020 our COVID KITTENS spent most of their days growing up chasing the feathers on it. It eventually got destroyed completely as they grew bigger.

A memory to last a life time.

Weaving a mandala or Ojo de Dios (God’s Eye) is both an artistic and meditative practice that invites stillness, focus, and creative flow. The rhythmic motion of wrapping yarn naturally draws the mind into the present moment, easing stress and quieting anxious thoughts. Through colour, pattern, and intention, the weaving becomes a form of self-expression and symbolic protection, supporting emotional grounding, patience, and inner balance.

On a physical level, the gentle hand movements strengthen fine motor skills and coordination while encouraging relaxed breathing and a slower heart rate. The sensory experience of texture and colour helps ground the body, while mindful posture reduces tension. More than a craft, mandala and Ojo de Dios weaving is a soothing mind–body practice that blends creativity, meditation, and healing intention.

What is a Stereogram?

A stereogram is an optical illusion of depth created by a flat, two-dimensional image. But if you view the image in a particular way, the three-dimensional image reveals itself in an uncanny way. But getting the hidden image within a stereogram to reveal itself takes a couple of tries to master.
