Wildflowers
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany, made on the same site since 1584. It is sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin. Its boards are wrapped in washi paper that was silk-screened in Japan in a factory where kimono silks are printed, and its spine is Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands.
The talisman in this book is a 1989, 20 pence coin from England featuring the Scottish symbol, a thistle with a crown. Legend has it that sleeping Scottish soldiers were alerted to a coming ambush when their stealthy, bare foot would-be attackers cried out in pain after stepping upon thistles.
