Mountain Avens
This book is made from heavy-weight watercolor paper. It is sewn with Belgian flax in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open at any page.
Its endbands are brown and gold silk, and its bookmark is untanned calfskin. The spine is covered in untanned calfskin, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-decorated in Japan.
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 coin from the Northwest Territories, Canada, that commemorates the Mountain Avens wildflower. Great for plein air painting!
This is a larger book, roughly 7 x 10”, with more than 150 heavy-weight watercolor-impervious pages.
