Indie Fashion Revival

Revival Ink is now 3 people strong! A few months ago, Revival Ink hired Tory Franklin as a part-time screen-printer. She has been learning very quickly, becoming an important member of the team! Tory has 9 years silkscreen experience, printing everything from circuit boards to her own artwork. Tory also works part-time at Cornish College of the Arts (the same college I graduated from) as the lab assistant for the drawing classes. She’s an amazing artist in her own right, and I’d love to share some of the things she’s been working on.

Currently, she has a public installation up in Tacoma, Washington at 906 Broadway, bay 2B across from the Pantages Theater. I have been hearing a lot from her about the evolution of this project, and it was great to see it finished.
It’s called The Firebird, and is a digital vinyl print on cut pvc, and cut tyvek.
Check out these amazing photos! To see more of Tory’s work check out her online portfolio.

There are so many Indie Fashion websites to love! But right now…these are my favorite 7:

1.Urban Fashion Network
This is the website I check out to get the latest fashion news, events and to find out about up and coming designers. They have an awesome detailed directory of stores and venues that support handmade designers. You can check out their feature designer section where you will even find a Q&A with me!

2. Etsy Rain
Of course Etsy Rain has to make my top 7. The blog for the Seattle Etsy Street Team. This website is chock full of information for all things handmade and local to Seattle.

7. Sydney Loves Fashion
A great blog for fashionistas. Sydney has spent the last 10 years in the fashion industry. Check this blog out for all the latest trends.

I saw this item on Etsy’s showcase today, and I was amazed. It’s the most beautiful necklace I have seen in awhile. This very unique vintage octopus with a 16 inch steel chain will certainly turn some heads. I like the pendant size too, not too big, but not too small to see the detail. If you crave more vintage stamped charms like these, check out
Ragtrader\’d5s Etsy store. You won’t be disappointed.
