161 ACB of Oregon Berry Hoodie and Black Tote Donated by Blind Girl Designs Tricia Waechter

We love our new Oregon print! The focus of the colorful print is the sunrise over Mount Hood. The print is 9 inches wide by about 13 inches tall. The sunrise over Mount Hood has a yellow halo. So, Mount Hood is a beautiful blue and white mountain rising to the sky with a peak and above the peak is a circular sun with a halo around it, as happens during sunrise. The sky is filled with peaches and pinks and lilacs - all the beautiful colors of sunrise. In a surprise twist, the top of the print is an arch with the statement, “ACB of Oregon Making Change Visible.” Each letter is the continuation of the color of the sky and may have a color or two of a cloud in it, making it be an integral part of the art. Below the mountain, as it goes deeper into blueness, is a very pretty , lazy river that meanders down to a valley of fir trees that run across the bottom of the art with the tallest trees on either side and then sliding into the valley in a curve. The bottom of the print of each hoodie has a very bold “Oregon” and it is outlined in a peach color that matches the sky. Underneath is the word “Oregon” in a smoky blue tactile braille. Framing the print on both sides are white canes that actually each run up the entire side of the print. The overall feel of the print is kind of a cool art deco, and we know that you will get loads of comments from other people who will admire the beauty of your hoodie. This hooded sweatshirt comes in unisex youth size small through large, adult sizes small through five XL, tall sizes large through three XL. As the winner you get to pick which size you want! It is a standard pullover hoodie with a large front pocket and large hood with a drawstring. It will not shrink if put in a hot dryer and you should wash and dry inside out to protect the ink and make it nice and fluffy on the inside!

All three of the words have the spelling of the word in tactile braille underneath them. The big snowflake made of canes on the right is surrounded by tiny little tactile snowflakes and it is super cute! The art is fun, upbeat, and of course glows in the dark! This hooded sweatshirt comes in youth size small through large, adult sizes small through five XL, tall sizes large through three XL. As the winner you get to pick your own size! This is a standard pullover hoodie and a large front pocket and a large one with the drawstring.
