Ojos de Dios have a long history at summer camps here in the U.S., but they also have a pretty awesome heritage with the Anasazi in New Mexico, the Huichol and Tepehuan Indians of western Mexico, and the Aymara Indians of Bolivia. Typically made with four “spokes,” the brightly colored Ojos pictured here are made with 8, resulting in a variety of pattern possibilities.
Made by Justin Near of Nashville, TN, these particular Ojos were made with bamboo skewers, bamboo and upcycled acrylic yarn from SmART in Berry Hill, and capped with beeswax clay.
