Altägyptisch gedacht - mein neuster Beitrag zum Thema Corona-Kunst: statt EdF (Ägyptologisch für: Erschlagen der Feinde) geht es hier eher um EdV (Erschlagen des Virus) :-)
Im Selket-Shop gibt es das Motiv jetzt als Maske: https://shop.selket.de/produkt/gesichtsmaske-erschlagen-des-virus/
Und hier könnt Ihr es als Aufdruck auf Tassen, T-Shirts oder Taschen bestellen: https://art-of-daniela-rutica.myspreadshop.de/
