Here's the pattern for the 12 sided ojo from the same site VP
suggested. I found it by clicking his links: http://ojos-de-dios.com/ojodirections12sided_b.html From what I can see on this guy's site, once you go beyond the traditional 4-sided ojo, you can increase the number of arms as you see fit, and develop your own patterns. I think his site has a wealth of information just from the illustrations.

It doesn't hurt to help our fellow beings when we can, and it makes me feel good inside when I can manage to help someone else. I take it you have never been burned doing so? I have, and therefore I am more cautious about total strangers who ask for handouts (especially when they do it more than once) and tend to take my previously-stated, "teach them to fish, maybe give them a little bit of bait to get them off to a good start so they know what they need, but don't give them any fish" approach to people who ask for help. I was burned once... and that was by someone who I had thought of as a friend. She *claimed* to have been abused by her husband, and that he had taken her children away from her to give to a foster family... and that she didn't even have any pictures of her baby. I felt really sorry for her and convinced my parents into allowing her to stay with us so she would be safe. A few days into it though she was out messing around with *five* guys all at the same time... if she *had* been abused by her husband, I wonder why. Her own mother told me that everything she had told me was a bold-faced lie, and that she was only using me and my parents. That took the straw and *I* kicked her out, not my parents. I have never spoken to her again. *hugs* Gemini |

Hi Stella,
Thank you for posting this url. This looks very much like the bag my Mom had when it was opened up. I don't see the pocket to tuck it inside itself, but I guess I can figure out some way of doing it.
