Holly Golightly

I hesitated for a good 3 minutes before deciding to de-saturate Holly Golightly. I was afraid that it wouldn't do her justice. but am pleased with how she has turned out - this is very nicely de-saturated (in my opinion), and i've achieved the atmosphere i intended to create: Martini-soaked parties thrown in Manhattan apartments circa 1940s New York. how unabashedly pretentious.

Jade Empress

Cool aquamarine greens make me think of perhentian island's crystal clear waters, and the maldives. i went to the maldives when i was a kid of 5 or 6, so alot of it is hazy memory, but do i remember my first-ever snorkelling adventure with my dad in those amazing waters! funny how i used to take trips like that for granted. well, not anymore :)

Shanghai Baby

Yue liang dai biao wo de xin.

Ice Queen

I like the genteel aura of this pair. Nothing less than a handsome old cola mug as the perfect backdrop for this creation.

Impending Change of Address

With effect from 1 Dec 2005, Huil will be migrating her beloved online gallery to another den ala kediaman on the Internet. As such, buckybuckaroo.blogspot.com will cease to exist. No need for buckets of tears at this sad news, but there is a need for you to make note of this url change in a month's time. Please. More details akan datang. - HUIL.

Goldilocks

Gold is an amazing color to play around with. It can be vintagey classy, easternly ostentatious or ethnically fashionable. In fact, gold and bronze are the most prominent metals in my tool kit at the moment. Such character, they have.

Rapunzel and her Rubies

Doesn't this somehow remind you of Rapunzel's long hair? As you can tell, I'm venturing into more vertically-inclined streamlined territory here.

Coco Chanel

When I saw these semi-transparent mod-brown circular glass beads sitting innocently in their cosy boxes, I said to them, "I must have you!". This was designed with Chanel No.5's 1980s TV advertisement in mind. Anyone remember that one?
