Girls Drink Beer Too!
September 12th, 2011
Well, I don’t but I’m pretty sure there are some ladies that enjoy a cold brewski from time to time. In honor of them and to people that are fond of drinking from glasses period, I created this pint for the design club at my office. Each month, a designer is selected at random to design an object. We typically do a series of things like t-shirts, or notebooks and now we’re doing pint glasses.
There are no rules other than to do whatever you want and whomever is in the club is stuck with whatever you design; a tall order for a designer and quite an terrifying one at that. It’s not every day that I can design without any restrictions. Admittedly, I was a bit overwhelmed at first. But once I’d made up my mind to design something pretty and overtly feminie, I just went with it!
The phrase on the side “may you enjoy many, many happy hours” is my personal wish to all that drink from my glass; whatever the beverage may be. Cheers!

These are amazing. I am a lady beer drinker (when I’m not enjoying a G&T!) and I can totally see myself sitting back in the warmer months drinking daintily from these!

so how would i go about getting myself into this design club? =) but seriously, awesome mix of colors and such detail!

Gorgeous. I don’t drink, but I’d take a set in a heartbeat for regular usage. Not surprising– your creative juices are still in top form.
SO happy to hear from you again! Here’s hoping that the time off was just what you need for an as-complete-as-possible recovery to your back problems. If you’re not back 100%, take your time–we’ll still be here when you get back.

Can I just say, it’s WONDERFUL to see you back in blogland – I’ve missed you desperately!
The pint glasses are amazing. I drink beer, but unfortunately the only glasses we have around here are the Man’s beer logo ones – boring!

These are awesome! Beautiful details!
September 19th, 2011 at 5:57 am
I have missed you! Hooray!
September 19th, 2011 at 6:20 am
These are beautiful!! Great job!
September 19th, 2011 at 9:08 am
So lovely! Oh where might I get one of these??
Welcome back!
September 19th, 2011 at 9:17 am
WOW! I love those glasses! I seriously wish you could make me a set and I could buy them from you for myself or to give as a gift. They are beautiful! And I love glasses and have a weird little collection going so these would be a nice addition. LOVE THEM!
September 19th, 2011 at 9:39 am
I would love to buy some of those glasses! Would you offer a couple up for sale?
September 19th, 2011 at 9:44 am
Love these. I am a beer drinker from way back. Are they available through your etsy store?
September 19th, 2011 at 9:58 am
Lovely! I think a hefeweizen would complement that design perfectly.
September 19th, 2011 at 10:03 am
Lovely!! I hope that you’ll be making a similar set for your etsy store, but if not, can you tell us what company you used to print them? If I can’t buy some with your beautiful design, I guess the next best plan will be to try to create some of my own…
September 19th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
These are so pretty! I would totally buy these if I saw them at the store…like everyone else has mentioned, I only have manly, beer logo glasses.
September 19th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
these are absolutely stunning! I’m not a beer drinker, but I think a mojito in this glass would be lovely as well!
I agree that you should offer these in your etsy shop! Please, please, please!
September 19th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
I did not know you are back I am so so so happy . I hope you are doing fine. Never contact you (once when i found out you were gone), but i always stop by you are one of my favorite blogs welcome back.
And I really wish you are feeling well
Best regards Val

September 19th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
Seriously – I’d buy some. They’re beautiful. Let us know if you’ll sell them! Way better than the man glasses we have!!
September 20th, 2011 at 6:19 am
Lovely! And yes your etsy shop should have these in it!
September 20th, 2011 at 9:15 am
Those glasses are AMAZING!!!! PLEASE sell them!
September 20th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Adding my voice to the “please sell these!” chorus…
September 20th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
Wow. I really love those glasses. I looked all over the post to see where I could get them, and then I read the caption. Boo for me. But hooray for you.
September 20th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
Wow this is GORGEOUS! I won’t be surprised if UO picks this up right away to sell in their stores! Love love the gold leaf, it really adds so much.
September 20th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
I love these! I’d be happy to drink every beverage out of them. I’m jealous that you’ve got such a cool thing as a design club at your workplace, it sounds like SO much fun!
September 23rd, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Please sell these. I’m totally in line at midnight on black Friday.
September 26th, 2011 at 8:37 am
I also want these.
September 26th, 2011 at 9:57 am
Those are so beautiful! I was hoping I could buy them too.
September 26th, 2011 at 11:37 am
These are gorgeous! I love the blue with gold. So pretty! You should totally sell these.
September 27th, 2011 at 11:38 am
It seems like I am not alone in wanting to buy these. Or at least will you sell the design? I am so in love with it.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:21 am
Those are beautiful! I want! What an awesome group project. I love the little message you added. And yes, I’m having a beer now, but not in such a lovely glass. Now my beer is jealous.
September 30th, 2011 at 4:19 am
i LOVE these!!!!! What a fun work project too!
I would love to know where you got them printed… I can not for the life of me find someone who prints glasses all the way around
September 30th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
hooray! i just discovered that you were blogging again, and to see your glass here…a surprise that’s twice as nice! i should let you know that GB Club membership has had a membership boost since your glass came along. no coincidence! i know it was quite the effort, but the product was pure success. rock onward, lady.

Adore this glass and the saying! You did amazing! I don’t think I would ever be able to create something so cute for a pint glass nonetheless! I am a beer drinker, how do I get my hands on some of these glasses?
October 2nd, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Thanks everyone for your sweet comments, I’m so glad you like them! Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback, I am looking into getting these reproduced and possible making them available for purchase. I’ll be sure to send out any updates if they due. THanks everyone! xoxo, Kathleen
