Shakespeare Sonnet 116 (CXVI) on Parchment Standard Apron

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.

The printing was very nice, but I thought that the colors could of been a little bolder, but all in all, loved them. Purchased eight of these aprons for sisters and sister-in-laws for Christmas. They were a big hit. Called customer service and they were very very nice and helpful. The printing was very nice, but I thought that the colors could of been a little bolder, but all in all, loved them.

Loved being able to select just the right image and personalize this apron for newlyweds just getting used to the title of Mr & Mrs! Fabric quality is wonderful. Not as bright as I expected on the tan fabric, but actually liked the more subdued effect even better so I am very pleased with the printing.
