excellent work Su
Very pretty and nice design and work also..

Can you details us what is that work called and how to do it?

hi senorita,
su here. this is Tanjore painting we do it using uncut semi precious stones and 22 karat gold leaves the topic is mainly hindu gods and godesses. this is so called because it is indigenous to a town called Tanjavoor/ Tanjore in Tamilnadu. the gold work is given a 3-D effect!
glad to know u liked them.

Hi bala_biji,
thanks for ur appreciation! Do u already know tanjore painting?
This is not a regular tanjore drawing- i adapted it from a ganesha sketch and added my own little bits. this was made as a gift for my brother's new house- grihapravesam gift! the original size without the frame is 24inches H x 18 inches wide so it is 2feet x 1.5 feet. i had it double framed with offwhite raw silk.
u can download it from this site if u can.
as for regular tanjore pictures, u can go to different tanjore painting sites and can have an idea of the different pics.
