The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky's Abstract ArtA Caldecott Honor Book Vasya Kandinsky was a proper little boy: he studied math and history, he practiced the piano, he sat up straight and was perfectly polite. And when his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers like a proper artist. But as Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing the reds, the yellows, the blues, he heard a strange sound the swirling colors trilled like an orchestra tuning up for a
A Caldecott Honor Book Vasya Kandinsky was a proper little boy: he studied math and history, he practiced the piano, he sat up straight and was perfectly polite. And when his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers--like a proper artist. But as Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing the reds, the yellows, the blues, he heard a strange sound--the swirling colors trilled like an orchestra tuning up for a symphony And as he grew older, he continued to hear brilliant colors singing and see vibrant sounds dancing. But was Vasya brave enough to put aside his proper still lifes and portraits and paint . . . music? In this exuberant celebration of creativity, Barb Rosenstock and Mary GrandPr tell the fascinating story of Vasily Kandinsky, one of the very first painters of abstract art. Throughout his life, Kandinsky experienced colors as sounds, and sounds as colors--and bold, groundbreaking works burst forth from his noisy paint box. Backmatter includes four paintings by Kandinsky, an author's note, sources, links to websites on synesthesia and abstract art.Binding Type: Hardcover

Beware of the off-gassing smell.
As much as I like the durable case, the ONLY complaint I have is the off-gassing. The case works great and I have no problems with it. But the smell is something terrible. My entire travel case smells horrible after coming back from a client just because this case has been transported within it. I had my coat on top of it one day and then my coat stunk. I thought if I aired it outside for a bit it would clear it up. When I take it back inside and use it again, it continues to smell. It is so offensive that I am ordering something from another company. I CANNOT say it smells similar to cigarette smoke, but can say that it smells like it has been in a smoker's home for the last 30 years and you just can't get the smell out, no matter what I do. And I tried to spray it with fresheners etc. Nothing worked. I can't use it because of this. I rated as a 2 only because of the smell. As mentioned earlier, the case itself is perfect and performs as it should.

Sturdy case large enough for most keyboards, with space for a mouse.
This is a great case that will protect most keyboards very well. My keyboard and mouse set is from Jelly Comb, and they fit well. It’s very spacious inside. In fact, my keyboard is thinner than what this case is designed for, so I had to pad the keyboard so it won’t move around too much, but I don’t consider this a bad thing. Now I know that if I get a larger keyboard, I can still use the same case. I also like the way it’s designed for a mouse. There are two pouches on top that indent into the case, so you can easily fit a mouse or cables in there and they won’t protrude too much. This case is perfect, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Nice case for carrying keyboards
The case is perfect for carrying keyboards or other items. I am using it for an apple keyboard and trackpad.

Excellent Black Shelf Brackets for Sturdy Shelves!
Style: Black 8 Pack, Size: 7.25 inch
I recently purchased these black shelf brackets for my home office, and they have been a game-changer! The quality is outstanding, and they provided the sturdiness I needed for my shelves. I was able to create beautiful shelves effortlessly by pairing these brackets with 8" wide pine boards.
These brackets are incredibly well-made and durable. They held the weight of my books, files, and office supplies with ease, without any signs of bending or sagging. I feel confident that my items are secure and won't come crashing down.
Installation was a breeze. The brackets came with all the necessary hardware, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. Within minutes, I had my shelves up and ready to use.
This is my second pack of these brackets, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. They are versatile, allowing me to create customized shelves that perfectly match my office decor. The sleek black finish adds a touch of elegance to the overall look.
If you're looking for high-quality and sturdy shelf brackets, I highly recommend these. They have exceeded my expectations, and I am delighted with the results. Don't hesitate to give them a try for your shelving projects!
