Microcosm
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 dates back to 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 blue goatskin. Its spine is covered in blue leather, and its boards are wrapped in hand-silk-screened paper from Japan that was printed in a factory where kimonos are decorated.
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 journal is a natural agate cabochon. The horizontal banding of the stone mimics land and horizon. A drop of water is a tiny ocean unto itself. Write one true thing every day, and you will have a masterpiece.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
