Floral Tube Vessel - Multi Black

I was first turned onto the work of @moraye_pare through a beautiful snail mail package from my dear bud @faythelevine She thought I might like her work and wow, was she ever right! In fact, Melissa’s vessels were really the initial impetus to have a papier-mâche show in back in the Fall of 2025!  💥
