Edelweiss
NB: This is a commissioned book and nfs.
This journal is made from 85 gsm Arches hand-laid, all cotton rag paper from France. It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page.
Its endbands are copper and gold silk, and its bookmark is burnt umber goatskin. The spine is rawhide covered in goatskin, 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 book is a 1964 one shilling coin from Austria depicting Edelweiss flowers. Its name is a compound of edel (“noble) and weiss (white), and it is regarded in Germany as a symbol of strength, adventure, bravery, and courage. In other words, the perfect “title” for the stories you’re about to tell.
This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with more than 150 blank pages.
