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 lie open easily at any page.
The book’s endbands and bookmark are goatskin,. Its boards are wrapped in washi paper that was hand silk-screened in a Japanese factory where kimono silks are decorated, and its spine is covered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Sandy, Utah. Its gilding was hand-applied using one of our new tools carved by Kevin Noakes in Rustington, West Sussex, England.
The talisman in this book is a 1961 Belgian flower show prize. Its obverse reads: “Stad Gent 1961 1e Prijs.”
