At the time, Mary was living in New York City working as a photographer's stylist and Chris was working in Florida at a silk-screen studio. They started visiting one another, having t-shirt parties and coming up with new project ideas.</p> <p>After a few years of living apart, they finally moved to the Virgin Islands to start their original silk-screen design company, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=55338" target="_blank">maryink</a>. While Mary is the designer behind <a href="http://maryink.etsy.com">maryink</a>, Chris functions as the steady hand behind the printing process. Mary's designs have a 1970s Scandinavian and folk art influence, and she also incorporates elements of embroidery, weaving and bitossi pottery. The shop is known for its interesting designs, silk screened votive candles, jewelry, tote bags and t-shirts.</p> <p>Even though living in the Virgin Islands was paradise, running a business proved difficult. Chris and Mary soon packed up and headed back to Nashville, where the low cost of living allowed them to dedicate themselves full-time to <a href="http://maryink.etsy.com">maryink</a>.</p> <p><img src="http://www.etsy.com/storque/media/bunker/2009/03/russian_565.jpg" alt="" width="462" height="280" /></p> <p><em>You can watch more of our <a class="column" href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/search/tags/Handmade%20Video%20Portraits/">Handmade Video Portraits</a>, and we'd be so thrilled if you'd <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=274681115">subscribe</a> to our free Etsy iTunes podcas<br /></em></p>
