Qing Dynasty
NB: This a commissioned work and nfs.
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 red and yellow cotton, and its bookmark is red grosgrain ribbon. The spine of this book is covered in Belgian linen, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was silk-screened in Japan in the same factories where kimono fabric is 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/sketchbook is Chinese coin from the Qing Dynasty. After the hardest winters, the cherry blossoms are the most welcome sign of spring. Luck always returns to us.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with more than 150 blank pages.
