Challenge has finished

This is a black and white themed challenge. show me cozy, soft, fluffy, comfortable, warm, pillowy, puffy, plump, lucious, organic, smooth, wavy and furry. Be creative with this and let your imagination go nuts. I don't want to just see a bunch of pillows or clouds... make it interesting. You could go abstract or not! No date restrictions just in case you have played with some neat imagery a while back. Have fun.

The rules weren't totally ignored, they were only ignored by a substantial proportion of the entrants, presumably most of the voters and the organiser.

Other than that the rules seemed to have been followed.
