With the green holiday just around the corner, I wanted to do something new. It was only natural to do something with the Irish flag and beers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gabrielangeldesign.com/shop.cgi/tshirtsandgifts.gabrielangel.2018290+irish-beers-flag.html"><img class="alignleft" title="Drink a Toast to Ireland" src="http://www.gabrielangeldesignblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Irish-flag-painted-across-5-beer-bottles.png" alt="Irish flag appears painted across five beer bottles" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
Irish beers are the perfect place for the flag. <em>St. Patrick&#8217;s day</em> may be about Ireland traditions, but it has become a multicultural holiday of drinking and wearing green. The sale of beers goes way up and there are plenty of bars that celebrate the holiday. I&#8217;m not sure if I have any Irish blood in me, but I&#8217;ve celebrated my fair share of Saint Paddy&#8217;s days.</p>
<p>In the college tradition of drinking large amounts of beer on this holiday, I definitely wanted a beer bottle centered design. I took 5 beer bottles standing next to each other and decided to integrate the flag of Ireland. It seemed obvious to take the flag and have it appear to be painted across all of the bottles. It came out really well, so I put the seal of approval (my logo) on the side of the last bottle.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a design that I definitely need seen in multiple places, so I also added it to my Zazzle shop under the <a title="Celebrate Ireland with Each Bottle" href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196454936193595013">Irish Beer Bottles</a>.</p>

It was intended to add to my collection of <a title="Take Pride in the Culture of Ireland" href="http://www.gabrielangeldesign.com/cgi-bin/store/cpshop.cgi?i=sevendeadlysins/gabrielangel/2171424"><strong>Irish Pride</strong></a> designs.</p>
<p>My idea was to make a larger clover design out of many smaller ones. It didn&#8217;t turn out very good and it wasn&#8217;t easy to make out the larger <strong>shamrock</strong>. I added the outline to help out with this, but I still wasn&#8217;t completely happy with the results.</p>
<p>Despite a lack of complete confidence in it, the design sold really well for me. I decided to finally update the design to look better on darker t-shirts (I previously had a completely separate design with a white background) and better integrate my logo. With the semi transparent logo and the white halo to help on dark t-shirts, I&#8217;m finally happy with the result.</p>
<p>Starting a new tradition, I&#8217;ve also added this <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/gabrielangel/gifts?cg=196156922313470900">Shamrock Outline With Many Smaller Ones Inside</a> to my Zazzle store. A last little bit of info is that I&#8217;m not <strong>Irish</strong>, but I have many friends who are, so go ahead and impress your friends with this piece of Irish heritage.</p>
