Jeanette,, You betcha a cane can be decorated, as can wooden crutches. Lisa Greenstadt, the gal who invented and sells the "HurryCane" (the cane with a flexible wand at the bottom which has been SUCH a help to those who have "freezing" episodes) <FYI - Lisa can be reached at (818) 789-9612 or emailed at <and note that there's no "U: in this email address: [log in to unmask] > I digress.... Lisa has an art student at nearby UCLA painting flowers and other things on the HurryCanes (an "extra," and I have no idea what the added embellishment costs) When I had a badly sprained ankle many years ago, I used my art background (12 years as a landscape designer and super-graphic artist), and covered the crutches with colorful art work. Wanna paint a cane? GO FOR IT!
