<div class="MsoNormal">It has been a long time since my last post, I have been so busy with my new career choice that I haven't touched a brush or fabric in a while. Having fallen into a wonderful opportunity to work/study to be a design engineer I am currently focused on that. However I have plans to set myself up to start painting again and designing fabrics, just have to wait a few pay rises first :) then I will have the resources to get back into it :) It’s a well paying career so all I need is patience ;)</div>Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10872476784595624062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822050739735929240.post-72276160409969621942011-03-31T00:47:00.001-07:002011-03-31T00:47:34.685-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2aBC5NKQcmJYjXfUtE9miCSt8kJ0SOLq5HrSyVPytflSQCZAipKekIHSOSlZZbwFkgbjdKsU8wvlDPRdXVuK1E5mPE0_0rVz7ERrhgfUZP9wuNgUc84mzXGWB8cBT3sTsvirLE2Ca2EE/s1600/IMG_2525.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2aBC5NKQcmJYjXfUtE9miCSt8kJ0SOLq5HrSyVPytflSQCZAipKekIHSOSlZZbwFkgbjdKsU8wvlDPRdXVuK1E5mPE0_0rVz7ERrhgfUZP9wuNgUc84mzXGWB8cBT3sTsvirLE2Ca2EE/s320/IMG_2525.JPG" width="160" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Man wish I had Illustrator, imagine what i could do with these ideas (pin-ups) sigh . . . .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CALLING ALL EMPLOYERS! <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">THIS IS AN INVITATION TO MAKE A GREAT INVESTMENT!<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My name is Kara Matters, I am 26 and a talented artist/designer/stylist</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am currently employed as a trainee in Design Engineering.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">My dream job:</b> Work for a fabric designer in studio, creating ideas and learning all I can learn.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Second dream:</b> Get a business partner with the cash and technical knowhow to get my own arts/design/fashion business off the ground. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This is second because I am a realist. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have the skills, and I need to use them:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My artwork and fabric designs are saleable and I am very flexible when it comes to discussing design ideas, what sells and what doesn’t.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I can design artworks and fashion, I have a keen eye for style and dressing for body types. I did a diploma in fashion. I have experience in small business having previously run <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Karda Designs</b>, a wholesale silk and silk scarf Indigenous business. I also have retail experience and customer service. I love to make a great sale and thrive in an environment working with others. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am registered with SEEK <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>http://www.seek.com.au/ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so you can find my resume' and details there. I live in Osborne park and can travel anywhere in Perth on public transport.</div>

A dark and sometimes morbid eroticized style, often men and woman can flaunt the same garments and makeup. Powder white faces, heavy dark eyeliner extending out around the eyes, nail polish and red lipstick and often a controversial mix of lace, leather and neo Victorian attire.<br /><br />From the 1980’s until now the “Goth” look has become a major part of fashion lifestyle. A more “underground” subculture rather than mainstream, but prominent non the less. </div><div align="justify"><br />Some people don’t have the confidence to go all out “Goth” and so take elements from<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSpAOtN3co80T_IInIz4y5jnaGqGT1sjje4cNVt0i5if3Yvjd5n5e8w0VFmV1E3KGCxm3RUCTG1lZo72o4aCMR4Smsf6VCZsnXXKv-aFq-2meGb2kFqd7u-cuSyNwc0dJ7_zWNZ_hZYA/s1600/marilyn_manson.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453190578910515026" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOSpAOtN3co80T_IInIz4y5jnaGqGT1sjje4cNVt0i5if3Yvjd5n5e8w0VFmV1E3KGCxm3RUCTG1lZo72o4aCMR4Smsf6VCZsnXXKv-aFq-2meGb2kFqd7u-cuSyNwc0dJ7_zWNZ_hZYA/s200/marilyn_manson.jpg" border="0" /></a> this style and mix it up with more conservative garments. For example I often see people wearing Goth boots over black skinny jeans with a loose fitting casual top. When out at a gig its not uncommon to see someone wearing a feature corset with jeans, simple boots and soft makeup to minimize attention. This type of outfit is purely about the corset and nothing else. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">A good example of the kind of outfits seen at a gig with dark gothic and rock influence:</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453223932405665714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Id8xaI87n4c/S62-Riuyz7I/AAAAAAAAAF8/OuUHzFtrcmE/s200/4868_1156729925454_1443912626_410884_8296268_n.jpg" border="0" /><br /></div>Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10872476784595624062noreply@blogger.com0
