Beach Comber
This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. The pages of this book will easily lay fully open at any point.
Its endbands are brown and yellow cotton, and its bookmark is calfskin. Its spine is covered in persimmon Dubletta book cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled at il Papiro in Florence, Italy.
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 a c. 1400 Arabic coin recovered from the beaches of Spain. Lost and found, it’s a recurring cycle.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
