There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Create a one-of-a-kind book using origami and bookbinding techniques to make a book full of hidden pockets and compartments! This book is also known as the Zhen Xian Bao, or Chinese thread book. As the name suggests, they were originally used in central China. Traditionally, women made them to carry sewing supplies: threads, scraps of fabric, needles, paper patterns, and other relatively flat treasures-- all folded and tucked into pockets. However, today they can be used to carry any small treasures! All skill levels welcome!
