Celtic Peacock
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 was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands and bookmark are Alran French goatskin. Its spine is covered in book cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Betty Caponi in Monte San Giusto, Italy.
The talisman in this book is a 1990 Irish penny, featuring the Celtic peacock. Peacocks feature prominently in the most famous Irish book: The Book of Kells. It was thought that peacock flesh did not deteriorate, and so the ancient Celts choose the bird to represent the immortality of Jesus.
