Description So....have you ever seen anything like these? Picture yourself at a BBQ this summer and you have no place to set your drink down. Now if you only had one of these babies you could hang your drink from your neck, maybe a tree branch or a hook. What if your at a tailgate party? What if you are a binge drinker and are forever losing your favorite drinking vessel? All these world ending problems are solved with my strange imagination and a little parachute cord.

Cone 10 wheel thrown and modified cups

Fresh or dried flowers hung from the ceiling
or from both high corners of bathroom windows.

Potted herbs hung in the kitchen
across a mounted dowel that would support 5 or 8 in a row.

Put writing tools in them and hang above the work desk
to keep the flat surface free of clutter.

Things like that.

Hmm. Hope it works.
My house is not set up to
be comfortable in.
All utility all the time.
Nobody lives like that.

Great work!
I'd buy them if I had the room.

Awesome idea! I know it must be hard to climb trees carrying a beverage, so this is a perfect solution
I really like the way they turned out!

Neat idea! Are they actually stable? Or do that have to be resting against your chest to keep from spilling? Seems like they would easily tip hanging the way that they do. Then again, if I was drinking a lot, I'd be likely to spill my drink one way or another The ceramic tube is a nice touch though; good solution to allow the hole lower without your drink leaking out.

The tipping point is pretty high up on the cup so the center of gravity keeps it stable. Most of the time I walk around with it wrapped around my wrist and drink like its a normal cup but its nice to have an extra option when "duty" calls or you are standing around with a plate of food.

Well damn. That's completely awesome. That would be pretty killer to have around my neck while I'm throwing on the wheel. What a fantastic idea!

cool!
Very interesting design, but i was wondering - if you try to down a drink quickly does the crossbar cause it the splash all over you?

They're really cute, great idea! I'm glad you showed the inside of one, I would have never thought to build a ceramic tube for the cable!
