This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, antique white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts. It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.
This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is blue satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in Dubletta cloth from the Netherlands, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled at il Papiro in Florence, Italy.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this book is a mid-century silver bicycling medal from France. In the words of scientist Bill Nye, “Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There is something wrong with a society that drives a car to go work out in a gym.”
This book is approximately 6.5 x 9.5” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
