Girl Scout
This archival, hand-sewn journal 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 and discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt in 1945. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.
This book’s endbands are green and white cotton, and its bookmark is green satin ribbon. Its spine is covered in water-marked silk book cloth, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was hand-marbled by Betty Caponi in Monte San Giusto, 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 journal is from a mid-20th Century American Girl Scouts scarf slide. “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other gold.” The future is female.
This book is roughly 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
