Once we come to an end with our Mandala, is good to take time to do some finishing details and decorate them with different things. This is where we can give free rein to our creativity.
While there are some standard outlines, I encourage each of you to do the ones you like best.
In this first section I would like to show the “Ojo de Dios” Huichol or also known in english as God’s Eye. These are weaves that the Huichols used as protective amulets. They usually have a diamond shape.
As shown in the first publication, whenever we start weaving a Mandala, it will be a God's eye (diamond shape) but smaller. In this case, if we want to do a “Ojo de Dios” Huichol, we should continue weaving until we get a bigger diamond shape or the size of our choice.
To make the finishing touches, you can decorate them with tassels/pompons/bobbles at the ends. Below you can find a picture of how beautiful and festive they are. In the next publication, I will show you how to make the tassels.
