This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts.  It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.

 This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is grosgrain ribbon.  Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in hand silk-screened paper from Japan that was decorated in a factory where kimono fabrics are printed.

 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 book is a fused glass ornament by fellow Indiana Artisan Liz Perr-McColm at My Glass Fix. Almost guaranteed, it will ward off the evil eye, and certainly, it will reflect beauty.

This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
