About This Design
Shakespeare Sonnet 116 (CXVI) on Parchment Coffee Mug
What would life be without poetry in general - or Shakespeare in particular?
A while back, I decided to make products using Shakespeare's sonnets, but I felt my design was a bit unfulfilled at the time, so I revamped it a bit to something more to my liking. Traditional yet original. The background is a parchment texture I made a while back, and I also found a calligraphic typeface for it that has the almost unique feature of having both historical gravity as well as modern legibility.
Obviously there are lots of sonnets to get through, so if you like this design, but cannot find your favourite work by the bard already made in it, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com to let me know and I'll get to it right away.
This particular one is sonnet 116 (CXVI), which reads:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
This is one of Shakespeare's most popular sonnets as it touches both on the subject of love while mentioning marriage, making the perfect wedding present, or valentine for a spouse or betrothed.

Great product. Clean lines. Photos clear and centered. Very professionally done. Will order more once these sell. Printing was clear and centered just as I'd placed it on the template. Very nice work.

I love the cups! They are exactly as pictured and the customization is on both sides. They are exactly what I had in mind when gifting my girls. My only regret is not getting the inside of the cup colored pink. Overall I am absolutely pleased with the product. The printing is amazing and consistent on all of the cups
