eye pillows

nurture

Give yourself the gift of inner calm. Indulge your senses with my luxurious hand crafted eye pillows. Made with the intention for deepening relaxation & centering yourself.
Warm it: Gently warm up your eye pillow on a radiator, take care as eyes are sensitive to heat, (microwave not recommended). Lie down, relax, place your eye pillow over closed eyes, breathe, BE.
Cool it: Cool your eye pillow in a zip lock plastic bag in the freezer, to be a soothing relief from headache, overwork, or long screen usage.
Use it: After yoga, during sound bath, meditation or massage, by your bed for a sensory aid to sleeping, as a comfort whilst in hospital, in your drawer as a lavender bag in between uses.

Art works

inspire

Since graduating in textile design, I`ve worked freelance in print design for fashion fabrics, for many years.

I`m now more designer/maker, in crafts, which is a better fit with balancing my creative needs with family, self care, social times and everything else I need to do & be.

I`m lucky enough to have a beautiful workspace at home, and I currently love to make products aligned with my yoga/meditation lifestyle, emphasizing the sensory aspects of colour, scent, feel & affirmation.

I`m fascinated by the circular motif of the Mandala, a complete symbol of a miniature `universe`, said to be an aid to meditation: I have carved my own `intuitive` Mandalas, which I hand print onto my silk eye pillows, framed Intention artworks & silk scarves. I dye silk as a base on which to work my designs. I have found that people are drawn to colour which `fits` them, so can be very personal & impactful. I feel very drawn to Gold, I use Gold foiling, as well as paint & thread.

I sell my work at craft fairs where I really like interacting with customers, a balance to working from home. I also sell from my Etsy shop. I supply yoga studios, retreats, & sound baths with bespoke orders.`
