Mardi Gras
This hand-sewn journal is made from archival, 100% cotton rag Strathmore 80 gsm paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945.
Its endbands are navy blue and gold silk, and its bookmark is white satin ribbon with applique fleur de lis. Its spine is covered in dark green book cloth. Its boards are covered in paper that was hand-marbled by Betty Caponi in Monte San Giusto, 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 1987 doubloon from Mardi Gras in Galveston, Texas. Live every day like tomorrow begins Lent.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 175 blank pages.
