This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, 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 Italian La Bretagna “Vivid” calfskin.
The talisman in this book is a souvenir medallion obtained at the Cathedral Notre Dame on the Ile de Cite in Paris, France, at the 2025 reopening of the historic site following a massive fire in 2019.
