Local Karigars in Hyderabad or Delhi area

I am a fashion designer, based in US and will be visiting India in the 3rd week of Jan 2007. I was wondering if you could help me get in touch with local karigars in Hyderabad or Delhi area who specialise in making handbags and purses with embroidery, beads, sequins, gemstones. Can you suggest someone who might be willing to help me maunufacture my designs?
I'll really appreciate your help.

Sincerely,
Rachna M

I am looking for a book of drawings by the Indian artist Gopal that was featured in an article on your site, Gopal and Teju. I believe the book was published in Germany. Can you help me find a copy?
Thanks. Nancy Rankin in New York City
