I am currently not selling items in my shop but if you are interested in "before" and "after" pictures for most of these items and more about my working process can be found on my instagram page: secretlifeofanartist.freiburg
Please note:The articles in my shop are all used and secondhand items which have been lovingly repaired and handpainted by myself using high quality fillers, glues, paints and sealants. Each piece is an indivual artwork in itself . There can be evidence of previous usage still visable. Overusage can lead to damage and it is not recommended to use strong cleaning products on the paintwork.
