commission for JB
NB. This commissioned work is nfs.
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 are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin. Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in a 1957 map of Greece, Crete, and Cyprus.
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 1981 Twenty Five Cent coin from the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, featuring a Bahamian Sloop. Sail onward.
