The request was for a cane with a mermaid and a comfortable handle. The internet is full of real life mermaids. All you have to do is Google, "image mermaid -cartoon." Because of copyright, I can't show you the images, but you could look up the muses at:

and, of course,

where you can find the story the The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, DK.
Here is the finished cane:
Up close to the mermaid.
Below the mermaid, a pair of dolphins are jumping out of the deep blue sea.
A sea turtle looks on from below the dolphins on the shaft of the cane.

On the backward looking side of the cane is a nameplate. I added a mysterious creature looking out from the cane.
Tomorrow I will show some of the work in progress and discuss the process to get the deep blue sea.
