This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm rose Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts. It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.
The book’s endbands are red and yellow cotton, and its bookmark is pink goatskin. Its spine is covered in pink goatskin from Rocky Mountain Leathers in Utah, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Betty Caponi in San Monte Giusta, 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 mid-century souvenir medallion from Buckingham Palace, London. The Jermyn Street tailor, Thomas Pink, takes credit for the origination of the phrase “in the pink” as meaning spiffy or well-turned-out. You and your book. Congratulations.
This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
