Lovely work, reminds me very much of Japanese Makie-e. I spent a summer studying makie-e in Japan two years ago and still haven't got good enough to put in on my work yet (I may need another lifetime before I am)
Perhaps the technique closest to what you've done is called "chinkin" The master of which these days is a chap called Mae Fumio. You might want to look him up.
