Yare
This archival, hand-sewn travel journal is made from Strathmore all cotton rag, 80 gsm paper stitched 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.
The book’s endbands are black and white cotton, and its bookmark is black satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped with “Yare” 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 20th century tap dance medal. Kurt Vonnegut famously called humans “dancing animals.” He was onto something there.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages inside.
