This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 85 gsm, hand-laid Arches 100% cotton rag archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was used as early as the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

 This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is blue satin ribbon.  Its spine is covered French saffino goatskin from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah, and its boards are covered in paper that was hand-marbled by Renato Crepaldi in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

 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 lapel badge from 1915, given to donors to a French widows and orphans fund in the throes of World War I.  Be kind.  Be generous.  Bestow grace.

This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
