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 black and white cotton, and its bookmark is black satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in pigskin, and its boards are wrapped in washi paper that was hand-silk-screened in a Japanese factory where kimono silk is decorated.
The talisman in this book is a granite cabochon that was honed by an artisan jewelry maker in Mexico. It broke, and was repaired using the Japanese art of kintsugi, repairing broken pottery with gold. Bounce back better!
