Eternal Flame

This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival 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.

This book’s endbands are blue and gold silk, and its bookmark is blue goatskin.  Its spine is covered in French goatskin, processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah.  Its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Betty Caponi in Monte San Giusto, Italy.

The talisman in this book is a recent souvenir of Paris medallion featuring landmarks of the city with the addition of the eternal flame at the Pont d’Alma, honoring the late Princess Diana.

This book is approximately 6 x 9” and contains a few more than 150 blank pages.
