For these organic canes, New Jersey’s Rosalyn Hopkins (RozzHopp) set aside her pasta machine, rollers, and tools. She used only a Bic pen to make indentations. It was a personal challenge.
“I struggled for so many years to show my work in public. I’ve come to understand it doesn’t have to be perfection. It needs to be freeing. Something that pushes me,” said Rozz in a recent post.
Imperfection used to send Rozz off twitching in discomfort. Lately, she’s taught herself to accept flaws and even make them on purpose. “It makes life so much more interesting,” she says. Freedom and playfulness come through loud and clear in these canes. Agree?

Hard to think of these delightful canes as “imperfect”. But they do convey the flow of freeing and that is downright awesome.

I guess that I take art as the artist’s intention. I love the designs of Rozz’s that you have posted and find them to be energetic and joyful. I’m off to find more of Rozz’s work. Thank you for sharing Rozz’s polymer clay pieces!
