All Artists seek to create.
It's in the blood.
And to create something brand new that you've never done before, what a rush!
So of course when I started creating pillows for myself, I found myself unable to stop hahaha.
So many beautiful patterns, colors and textures!!
But I digress, you're reading this because you want to know what in the world is a metaphysical pillow?
And I will now enlighten you :) .
When I started making the pillows I wanted them to be not only beautiful but the most comfortable pillows in the world, so I settled on gel memory foam to stuff them with.
Now the cool part about the gel memory foam is, it is so malleable, it just seeks to fill that pillow in whatever way it wants to fill that pillow, and this is where the metaphysical aspect comes into play.
I discovered early on that a bump at the bottom formed on one, an accident at first, but then discovered the incredible benefit of it fitting into the small of your back when you sit against the pillow -utterly sublime!!!
The pillows seem to take on the shape of their design as if the message inherit in the design determines the ultimate shape of the pillow.

| Side view of Cheetah pillow |
In this one pillow of a cheetah taking tea for example, when the pillow was complete, the sides of it shaped like a woman's body, and I take the cheetah in this pillow to be a woman, she's very feminine looking , much like my female orange cat Charlotte, who she reminds me of.
Also cheetahs, even males, have a very sleek look about them which this pillow definitely has.
My next example is the alligator pillow.
Now the alligator pillow is cool just in itself, before you even make it into a pillow, but the pillow turned out real fat, real solid, real heavy just like an alligator.
The initial reason the alligator pillow appealed to me so, was of the light behind him and if you look closely you can see two shoots of light also coming from his nose.
Upon closer inspection when I received the pillowcase (these pillowcases are not my designs. I am working on my designs now, but I don't have any up yet), the alligator is standing on a very dark black wood piling or a rock.
As alligators symbolize the dark shadow in us, the black unconscious dark shadow, this alligator has risen above it and is encircled by the light and since he is shooting light from his nose (knows) it indicates he has become enlightened.
My third example is my fish pillow.
For whatever reason it has an extremely distinct curve to it.
In fact I did three fish pillows, all slightly different designs and they all curve like the same way for no reason that I can tell.
Close to a U shape.
All my pillows are the same size, they're all 18 inches by 18 inches.
As I am using the exact same filling for each one it is amazing to me how the pillows morph into whatever they wish to morph into.
Some are very solid and heavy and some are light like the air.
My take is that the pillow will go to the individual who it is intended to go to and will fit them perfectly.
And that is the end of my elucidation on what a metaphysical pillow is.
They are for sale at $50 apiece.
But be aware the cost of mailing them will be very high.
I will also update this with new designs I make and also the pillows that will feature my art.
