Darn Dandelion!

Really funny day today... turns out I cant make a sculpture for the life of me...

I was trying to make a DEAD DANDELION sculpture and it looked more like a cake on top of a lamp than anything.... then when you turn on the lamp for a "glowing effect" it turned into an alien looking thing!!! IM NOT KIDDING...

I was stressing this sculpture quite a bit bc though I pictured it to be an important part of my installation I was in fact making things really far fetched for myself. I mean, Ive worked with clay and Ive made all kinds of things like paper mache masks and origami beautiful pieces and also with wax and sewn a shit load in fashion, from pillows to whole outfits but Ive never worked in METAL and I needed something that wouldnt BURN.

I bought mesh, feathers, paint, spray paint, styrofoam pieces, casting stuff, glue gun, special non flamable tape, all types of sticks from metal to wooden etc.... I always had a feeling it would look crafty and probably kitch but I wanted to try at it and see what would happen, sometimes I get very lucky. The whole flammable thing got in the way of what I would have initially done.

So, even though my Dandelion didnt work so well I will still have my version of a beautiful sculpture with reference to a dandelion in the middle of my installation... it will be more simple, more me, more beautiful and their is still lots of work to be done tomorrow for that.

Its all very exciting ;)




With all my LOVE.

It's Time ...

Been taking my Cindy Crawford pills but haven't been sleeping home much so I haven't been using my Cindy Crawford face cleansers and lotions but I feel better than ever. I have been planning out how I'm gona get this sculpture done and its been difficult to find what I need but now I have another idea that might work. Was at Home Depot then Michael's and now I will go to Peals, Utrecht and JoAnne Fabrics to get all the supplies sorted. Went to Tatiana Blanco's studio to see what she thought i should use since she makes sculptures w wire and metals.

Lot of fun stuff happening this week for Basel!! Super crazy week here every year... I wish they would extend it all to 2 weeks instead of have so many incredible events and art to look at in a span of basically 3days!

My stomach ache is gone, my pinched nerve is gone, its a beautiful day and I am feeling GREAT, I have energy, I slept really deeply, and so now all I have to concentrate is on this sculpture... but once I get on a roll it should all work out and get done... hope it is absolutely beautiful for you all to see.

Excited to use my hands and get dirty again...

You can do this TAMBO!

Sincerely,

im so happy to be safe man... so happy to be safe! so crazy out there! thats what i think. now that the blog has become whatever it is IT was just Thanksgiving and I just naturally feel thankful tho, like i know im not saying things right n punctuation n whatever but whatever :D

ok that smile was a bit too big for right now
















so i pour my heart out right....
n for what?

i have no idea.


no



idea



im really cool tho i promise... the problem is that i always make mistakes cuz i dont have .... ??? lol//// >>>>.... haha..... no!



bc i know i will have to deal with whatever it is that i put myself thru... u do it to urself... thats way better than so many other things.... i am guessing u think im a bratt... well not even... bratts do what they have to do bc they wont suffer later for their mistakes... bratts HATE THAT MORE THAN I DO! LOL
i dont wana say anything that is gona spread something nasty i think a bratt would.

why r we even talking about em?


im trying to think of something i wana write about and i cant, cuz ive been practically nalyzing myself n im not inspired to speak! im in a time capsule...

im looking for a hat hanger now... my mother is going really like idk man like really into all this stuff n its cool but omg im like so claustrophobic!



ive heard it all ive heaaaard the animals n each call and they arent crying

Erykah Badu is really amazing shes like an animal.

Ive been wanting to write on here... ive been feeling like im letting this lil white beautiful box down! NOOOOOOOOOOOO...... i am like in a different world right now but i really wish i had the house to myself... i would just be more relaxed, thats it, i would do anything. O
its one of those anxiety days. im so over these anxiety days but they wont go away no matter what i do. and i can spilllll my guts to u right now and that still wont satisfy me when i rest my head on a feathered pillow. DIDNT TELL U I HAVE PINK HAIR YET BUT IF U READ THIS UR PROB ON MY FB


(i really cant stand myself)



so im getting used to the pink hair but u know that... i had to do it! i had to! i wanted to! so bad! I also dnt think im a good writer whatsoever but

your kisses could be replaced with tears.
and whats a girl to do?
i would LOVE to fly away.
and those kisses at night... can never really be the ones i will allow to b felt by my skin. im in limbo n i learned that thats where babies go when they r inbetween places... like they die too young... wtf.


i dont wana talk to a yogi, i dnt wana talk to a doctor, or a preacher or even a parent.... i wana talk to someone that can make me feel better instead of tell me what it IS... i dont care what it IS anymore. i dont think its worth trying to figure out anymore. i was the crazy girl w pink hair last night... i cant see my pink hair! i cant see it!! lol but they see it if they want to... so whos it for? well, i guess them but they dnt even appreciate it and im already thinking to go dark next... i dont wana talk anymore i dnt think that i think. their r really precious things that r out there n they shine n u wana touch them but im not one of those things... im always dancing and its bc


i DONT want u to think that im make believe, im real, im a real person, im so real its like i just dont get what is going on here tho! i dont get this shit, i dont get it man, i dont want to either. i try and try and try and i still dont . ok so the open drawers the colors r like fireworks but not and i see sooo much crap its all i see i love this songgggg and NOWWWWWWWW .....


nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

u say u love me...








i cant even talk about love, i will throw up! ive been talking about it all night!

i want to have a boyfriend already,,, i want to stay home w my boyfriend and thats IT. i dont wana DO anything. i wana WORK and get it DONE n i wanan be DONE,,, no more energy to dance all around everywhere w pink hair lol like ??? OMG. dont dwell TAMBO dont dwell!


nobody really cares. so we keep skipping and hopefully on that yellow brick road and u could even bring a bucket of paint w u to make sure NObody can find u.... u can... but come onnnnn tambo..... seriously.

nobody cares lol ;)








nothing to really care about!
Sincerely,
Tbo

Don't loose all ur marbles...

Ok so I FOUND A SPACE!!!!!!!! its like someone let all the marbles spill!!! they are bouncing all over the place soooo happy! from big bounces to little itty bitty dribbles... as the scatter the entire floor.........................................

Its a good feeling, like a release, like an explosion of energy in a cute way, no fire and nothing breaking... now imagine ur one of the marbles and u see all your friends bouncing as other marbles with their own positive energy... all of you up and down and little by little getting your senses back and remembering your just another bouncing marble in the area... another shiny lil planet.

I want mine to be iridescent, ive always said thats my fav color... it has every pretty color in it like pink and periwinkle and baby blue and even a tinge of emerald green depending how the light hits it.

every marble is a different color, thats what sets them apart, they have personality, they have people that they attract... a little blond girl might pick up my marble and maybe not the black one. An old bald man might pick the red and his wife might like the purple.

Just taking things out of context.

I believe in energies too...
-i love yours.

<3
TAM

Don't LOOK.

I felt like someone has been looking over my shoulder... I've felt it, I felt that, its been so... u knew that.

I'm happy to be home and getting things accomplished.
I still don't have a secure location for my project... so i'm feeling like a floating option, like a planet... i have a rotation and i am on a path and each planet has each his own path... so when the rotations coincide for a moment or more and relate in a rhythm, they take a ride-

the silver sparkles are smiley
turquoise and fuchsia colors make me happy and i rejoice.


i am not the rainbow...


I have my days.

I am never a rainbow in one day and if i was, u'd be terrified.
