March 27: Look Into Infinity Images of images of images can repeat forever. If you've ever been between two mirrors that face each other (such as in a barbershop, beauty salon, dressing room, or fun house) you're familiar with the seemingly endless line of images fading into the distance. It's incredibly simple and truly fascinating! Experience this effect with us and find out how this illusion works.

April 3: Marbled Paper This historic art form dates back to the 12th century, and is often seen used in old books and manuscripts in end leaves and endpapers. It is so named because it imitates the veins of colored marble. And it's so much fun to make!
