Snakeshead
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. 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 satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in “Snakeshead” print paper designed by William Morris c. 1876, reprinted by the William Morris Gallery in London, England.
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 British 5 pence coin.
This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 150 pale pink pages of truly luxurious paper.
