Oh I’d love to! I’m working on an embroidery that I envision to be on the cover of a physical print but I’m not sure of when… considering to make a kickstarter for it eventually but it’s sadly not a priority at this time as I need to build up a larger readership here first 🥰 appreciate your request though as it would be magical 💞
Elin, thank you for sharing this text. Love this part "On the other hand, from an artist’s perspective, why can’t I talk about what I know to be true in the present? Additionally, what does it even mean to be successful?" This is exactly what I am contemplating. If you feel something to be true just share it, no awards and certificates will back it up if there is no belief, passion and confidence in your message. Hope to one day discover more about the book as well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tomas! And thanks for highlighting this - it’s very true and I think imposter syndrome is one of the biggest blockers for people to start in the first place.
Amazing accomplishment and congrats to all of the hard work not just in the construct of it but in putting your heart into it. To working together and finding a way to disseminate knowledge it a caring way. Such lovely compliments read above. ✨
Can you please create a dedicated space for all reviews, celebrations and comments when you have some time? 🤣 I think this would be wonderful for the book, you and all future readers. There’s so much gold in it I’m only a few pages in… more thoughts here ❤️https://substack.com/profile/15509658-carmen-luisa/note/c-53797211
Like a book club discussion type of thing ??!! That’s a brilliant idea?! I’ve got to save the feedback anyhow you’re right… how would you like to see it displayed for you to find it inspiring and useful? 💞 thank you so much for your feedback so far, I’m so excited 🙏🏼
I think comment section somewhere would be useful. I understand you may not want that under the page where people can download because you may add other books there but that’s most visible to people. Otherwise you’ll see so many notes and comments everywhere but it’s not where the book is (think of Amazon book reviews)
Book club discussion thing is another option. For that a thread or chat or whatever it’s called here might be the answer. ❤️
Hope you were able to get a bit more sleep last night x
Ok brilliant thanks for this input I’m going to give it a thought and see how I can do this… I’m not sure whether it would matter to have it in the comment section on the download page though… but yeah maybe it would get a little confusing .. I’ll think thanks 🥰 xx
Oh gosh Danusia, what a week it has been 😅 you have no idea how grateful I am to have you send me this wave of love right after sending off this big milestone ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Huge congratulations on the book! I feel the "real job" pressure semi regularly (slowly trying to unpick that conditioning), so really resonated with what you shared
Mika thank you!! No tears promise, more a huge sigh of relief that life now can continue until the next big wave haha I also had an unusually good night last night so I’m already writing on a new project 😅🫣 #nevernotcreating…
It’s interesting really how before I used to feel guilty for having a hard time to do nothing at all when now I recognise that my rest is tied to creating art in various ways so I’m just leaning into it instead of adding more pressure xx
How exciting! Many congratulations! No pressure but any plans for a print edition? I'm one of those dinosaurs. I love my paper.

That sounds absolutely awesome. I hope that one day it will happen. For now let's celebrate your digital art baby!!

I’m sure some thinking will bring clarity right now I’m not sure either 😅x
Congratulations! 🎉 Can’t wait to start reading! 💖💕
Yay thank you Amy! Let me know your reflections after 🥰🥰🙏🏼🥂
I’m so excited!!! What’s a word for beside myself?
So many congratulations Elin xx
Whoop whoop 🎉♥️🎉❤️
Oh gosh Danusia, what a week it has been 😅 you have no idea how grateful I am to have you send me this wave of love right after sending off this big milestone ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No one's ever asked me this but they do wonder when will I start making "grown up money."
🤣🤣 oh I feel you on that one haha. And it’s such a ridiculous question! I would never want to make grown up money if it’s what I assume it means … 😜
Congrats! Can’t wait to read Elin. I know how much work you’ve put into this edit and I think you are AMAZING!
Oh just seeing this 🥰
Huge congratulations on the book! I feel the "real job" pressure semi regularly (slowly trying to unpick that conditioning), so really resonated with what you shared
It’s really a conditioning isn’t it! It took me years 🙏🏼💞
Congratulations!! I hope there weren’t any tears towards the end of this project.
I’m so so happy for you. It’s a huge juggle with your family and other commitments. Well done! 🎉
Mika thank you!! No tears promise, more a huge sigh of relief that life now can continue until the next big wave haha I also had an unusually good night last night so I’m already writing on a new project 😅🫣 #nevernotcreating…
