Travel The World Through The Eye Of A Needle
How to follow the art-book project for Travel The World Through The Eye Of A Needle and secure your own physical copy!
Do you love to travel? And do you love art?
Then this book will be for you!
Travel the world through the eye of a needle will become a pocket-size art book for creative travel enthusiasts.
Why an art book?
I believe that art books shouldn’t be a privilege for clean coffee tables and long stretches of time… Instead, imagine how exciting if you can easily pop it into your bag and bring it along!
As a mother of two young toddlers it felt utterly important to create an art book in bring-me-with-you-size, so that everyone can feel inspired even in the little pockets of time too.
An art book serves as your handy art prompt
Why do you need an art book? It’s an honest question and I want to give an honest answer.
You don’t need an art book to feed your family or put roof over your head. But an art book can serve the needs that goes beyond the basics, it can fuel your well-being as you get an injection of inspiring energy every time you flip through the pages.
You see, I look at an art book as a concrete art prompt that exists not only in our mind, but in front of our eyes too.
Inspiration tends to lead to more inspiration, just like ideas lead to more new ideas.
An art book can thereby become a catalyst for a sequence of ideas, all of whom may take on a life of their own (and who knows what can happen next?!).

You’re invited to come along the journey as a BOOK-FUNDER or with standard pre-order of the book only. (An All-in Book-Funder will also receive the juicy bonuses).

🗓️ HEADS UP: Approximate Timeline:
I aim to create the book throughout September and October, in order to focus on printing, packaging and shipping in November so that hopefully the majority will receive your copies by Christmas 🎄!
Please keep in mind that these are temporary deadlines and I cannot guarantee delivery on time. But know that I will do my absolute best to make it happen.

Your preorder will pay for the production, printing, and shipping of the book PLUS you’ll get to follow along the entire process through weekly updates here in the Magazine.
To pre-order guarantees access to a physical signed copy from the first printing batch. I cannot guarantee that there will be more print-runs than one, so if the concept speaks to you - Do consider to come onboard now.

I get it, no worries! You can secure a standard pre-order copy through my website (via this link).

The raised funds for the project will go directly to production, printing and shipping of the book.
I am having issues with the check-out on Substack (the platform that hosts the Art Magazine), but I still want to join the Book-Funding tier, what do I do?
I am so sorry that you’re facing difficulties to check-out! The best option in this case is to use the one-time check out on my site here

If you purchase through my website you will have to fill out your shipping address to complete the order.
If you order through the Art Magazine, you will receive a confirmation email right after completion with a form to fill out your desired shipping address. It’s VERY important to fill out the address in this step or else I won’t be able to ship the book to you! Don’t worry if you forget, I will send reminders when we approach the final stages of the printing.
How will I receive the bonuses if I choose to become a Book-Funder?
You will receive all updates via email. They will also be posted here in the Magazine, which you can always return to on the web through this link.
Are there patterns inside the book?
No, this is NOT a craft pattern book. It will be an art book designed for handy inspiration.
However, if you choose to join the Book Funding Tier you will receive 15 patterns of artworks featured in the book, which will be sent to you as a downloadable PDF file.
Will the book be ready for Christmas?
I truly hope so!
I will work my absolute hardest to be able to bring you your physical copies in time for the holidays this year. Just bear in mind that unexpected events can always happen, so I am not able to give an absolute guarantee. Trust that if there are any changes to the time-line readers of the Magazine will be the first to know!
I’d like to order copies to friends and family too, how do I do?
Yay I’m so excited! This little art book will be the perfect gift for artsy friends and family.
