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 French goatskin, its bookmark is pigskin, and its spine is covered in chrome-free pigskin from Landerwerlen Leathers in Indianapolis, IN. 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 1937 United States buffalo nickel. The coin was designed in 1912 by James Earl Fraser, and in production from 1913-1938, but it proved difficult for U. S. mints to strike distinctly, and its copper-nickel composition wore down quickly.  It was retired after its minimum federally-required 25 years of service, but it remains a sentimental favorite among Americans.
