3D Common Ground - Zip Tote

Brainstorming this print with ACB Students was a terrific experience! We love how it came out and we love their enthusiasm! Please support them and their collective futures by supporting this fundraiser.

Check out what a great job they did! This print features a bold, symbolic Tree of Life design in a cool teal-green tactile ink.

At the heart of the artwork is a circular Celtic-style tree with flowing, interwoven branches and roots that mirror one another. The canopy forms an elegant rounded crown, while the roots weave into intricate knot-work, visually reinforcing the message of connection and shared foundation.

Arched above the tree are the words:

“COMMON GROUND”, And below that is printed “common ground” in grade 1 tactile braille.

Curved below the roots are the words:

“DIFFERENT ROOTS” And just above these words is “different roots“ in grade one tactile braille.

Surrounding the circular tree design is a subtle square frame made of different style of white canes, positioned along the top, bottom, and sides. The canes form a balanced border, reinforcing themes of accessibility and inclusion. 

On the back, printed horizontally in the same teal ink, is the phrase “Growing towards a bright future” in a fun cursive font with grade one tactile Braille underneath it. 

The overall design communicates unity, diversity, inclusion, and shared humanity —different roots, but common ground — presented in a clean, high-contrast layout that stands out beautifully against the rich colored background.

We used our white Plastisol ink on this tote bag to ensure the bag lasts for years. This tote is 15 inch by 20 inch full zip canvas bag with a folder bottom so it can sit upright and a zip pocket on the inside as well! It has generous straps, so you can swing it over your shoulder.

Do not wash bag.
