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 are goatskin, and its bookmark is pigskin. Its boards are wrapped in a 1958 map of Europe showing Ireland primarily, and its spine is covered in pigskin from Landwerlen Leathers in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The talisman in this book is the ornament from a claddagh lapel pin.
