Mountains Calling
This archival, hand-sewn journal is made from 100 gsm, rose Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
The spine of this book was gently hand-rounded using a backing hammer to give it a supple feel and a simple shape. Its endbands are brown and yellow cotton, and its bookmark is yellow satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in aniline-dyed goatskins, and its boards are wrapped in a 1959 map of the Western United States.
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 1927 United States Buffalo nickel. John Muir famously wrote in a September 1873 letter to Sarah Galloway, “The mountains are calling, and I must go . . . .”
This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 185 blank pages inside.
