Thanks for all of your ideas im in the middle of making them at the moment and thanks for the link Acadia i will then have something to go by. i used to have part of a tree branch (it fell out of a tree and nearly hit me) it was sort of curved like a scimitar but had a bulbous part on the end it kinda looked like a leprechauns walking stick. might make something like that aswell. At the moment i have about 12 ideas going so it should be a big pack the only problem is do i make the figures/adornments fit 1 type of cane of make make many or do i make the cane and figures as one.
