Wow!! Life is full of surprises! Yesterday, and continuing into today, my GoFundMe appeal for donations jumped from a stagnated $1200 or so to over the goal of $5000 *usd* all because of a little link at the end of my son Corey's weekly philosophy themed online Existential Comics. His comic is actually used in college philosophy classes, and one college professor from San Francisco State University donated $500 *usd* !! I had been totally mystified about where the F all these new donations were coming from when Corey messaged me about his own surprise about how much was suddenly being donated, all clearly because of his posting an appeal and link to my GoFundMe!!

Before I moved to Mexico, I had written a full length first draft to a novel, but I didn't seem to be up to the work of polishing it to finished form, and set it aside. Now, as an exercise to keep my mind active as much as anything else, I decided to finally finish and publish this rather fun work ..... BUT I LOST it .... no copy to be found anywhere. I was sure I saved it both in the "cloud" and on a memory stick, but I searched and search, and NOWHERE to be found. What to do? .... well, a whole lot of the novel remains in my memories, and I'm STARTING IT ALL OVER ..... pledging to my self to work on it at least five days a week, and try hard to get it finished THIS YEAR, 2024. These days its super easy to publish a novel, in a least a minimal way, by posting on Amazon, and that's what I hope to do. What to encourage me? Well I've got a long standing Patreon page, about both my life as mandala weaver, with many instructions posted, and my life as a sixties hippie in California. Now I am switching my posting there to early access to chapters of this novel, as I write them. Care to join up and encourage me in the best way possible .... by making a patreon pledge?? Here's the link: https://www.patreon.com/jaysmandalas
Pledges for as little as $1 a month accepted. All previous posts on mandala weaving, and my sixties life immediately available for any minimal pledge.

After a long break from weaving yarn mandalas, a fellow ex-pat also living in Oaxaca, Mexico, ordered this mandala as a custom order. I'm definitely open to more custom orders, and will add information to the website soon for ordering. This particular yarn mandala I'm calling Violet Flame. It's 24 inches, 16 sided, and made with acrylic yarns. Including shipping, the price to USA would be $350. Ask for prices to other areas. As always, to see other examples of my work, Google my name, Jay Mohler, and hit the images tab. I've been featured many ways and for many years, so there are lots of examples, as partly shown in the above cover photo.

If you are looking for the very finest in Ojos de Dios mandala work, look no further than the work of my former apprentice, Inga Savage, who studied with more than just me, and shows her amazing pieces on Etsy. The attached screenshot of one of her Etsy feedbacks says it all. See her full online shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/OjosDeDiosShop

One of many reasons I love Mexico

Upstart Corn Activists in Mexico Just Beat GMO Goliath Bayer-Monsanto Mexico's Supreme Court voted down an appeal by several chemical and seed companies to allow them to cultivate genetically modified corn.

My first testimonial from my new Ojo de Dios instructions. I gave them to a girl from Brazil named Pan, for her 11th birthday, and she showed me this, her first using my CRAWL method of mandala weaving, as presented in my instructions. About the CRAWL method she said:
"yes I used it and I really liked the result, the instructions are great and easy to understand, thank you."
My CRAWL method is detailed in my second set of instructions, on sale now for only $5
Would you also like to learn my tips and instructions for perfection in mandala weaving? Check them out at yarnmandalas.com/instructions
Although only 11 years old, Pan has been weaving Ojos de Dios for two years, and I expect that if she is able to weave with this perfection now, we will be seeing amazing work from her in the coming months and years.

Looking to see a history of my mandala weaving? Simply "Google" my name, Jay Mohler, and hit the "images" button. There are a few shown that are not mine .... half even by the time you get to the very bottom line of these three pages, and a few images other than my Ojos de Dios get in there, but overall, it's a very good look at my many years of mandala weaving, as featured on a bunch of different places on the internet. And I love how the very first image is totally up-to-date with the cover photo of my very recently updated yarnmandalas.com website.

I've finally updated my long ignored website, YarnMandalas.com, which is now centered on offering instructions for weaving your own Ojos de Dios mandalas. My beginning instructions are free, and the next stage on sale for only $5. For details, visit yarnmandalas.com/instructions.

I've long ignored my Patreon.com site, and patronage has shrunk as I've not fed the site with new content. Today this ends! I'm now on a schedule to add new posts weekly (for this who pledge $7 or more a month) and and less often for patrons who donate as little as $1. New instructions will always go first to Patreon.com patrons, and I hope to build up subscribers to at least where I once had things, giving me added income of up $100 USD. I'll also be posting here on this page much more frequently, and am now offering free beginner instructions for anyone who signs up for my newsletter. See my newly updated website, YarnMandalas.com, for details.
