Default Cane Patterns/Ideas

I am looking to carve a cane for my wife that has multiple sclerosis. She has hinted that she would like to have some sort of flower/floral design. I have looked and googled everywhere and have not been able to find any decent designs. Does anyone know any good site's for patterns or any ideas? Thanks.

Now she tells me that she wants shamrocks on a vine down the cane. Anyone have any ideas?

I've found the easiest way is to make your own. Google shamrock and vines. Find a photo you like, download it and print it. You can paste the picture right on your stick or use graphite paper and transfer the design.

I usually make up my own, but you might look at leatherworking designs for belts. They are easy to wrap in a spiral fashion around a cane.

Thanks everyone. That was so simple an idea I never would have thought of it.
