Grow

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 green goatskin.  Its spine is covered in Saffiano leather, the finish preferred by the Italian house Prada,  from 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 mid-20^th Century French medallion, featuring a sapling.  Grow where you are planted.  Thrive.

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