Asimon
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that dates back to the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin. Its spine is covered in red Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in a 1942 map of the Levant States.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this journal is an asimon, the pay phone tokens that were once common in Israel, but phased out by 1990, due to the coming of cell phones. The word asimon means a coin with different markings. Names have tremendous meaning.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
