August 24: Wow! Its been busy here!  Canes4pain was featured in a live spotlight interview by radio station BMRX . That was a lot of fun! They are going to send me a copy of the interview so I can post it here on the site for everyone to hear. Many "cane babies" were adopted to new homes. I had to scurry around and get my house ready for the potential hurricane/tropical storm Fay. Luckily it was "just" a tropical storm when it blew through town. I lost a lot of palm fronds and some fruit from the trees, but all is ok. I think I've heard enough wind and thunder for this year. Looking forward to a nice cool dry autumn, winter, and spring.  I plan to be back in cane production this week. I will be starting some new canes for the fall and winter season's Crown Jewels Collection- including this year's special Limited Edition canes, and I am restocking Rattan Birch Rods (seen on the Multi-Canes page), and Black Glossy Canes (in the Royal Pains Collection). Thank you to everyone for your well wishes during the storm and my recent birthday, and of course, thank you for your orders and emails full of glowing reports of your canes dancing over people's skin. It is an honor and a pleasure to supply you with these fine implements :)

August 10: The canes and I will be traveling to Fetish Con in Tampa next weekend. It has been years since the canes have been offered at a large event in Florida. It should be a lot of fun showing them off and seeing friends and fans. Come say hi if you go! This week will be spent shipping and working on Rattan Birch Rods- wonderful little multiple lash rattan floggers. They have lots of sting. That should keep me busy. They are very labor intensive.

I will be hosting our annual Back to School Play Party on September 5 in Ft Myers, Fl. If you would like info or an inviation, please email me at WhypDancer@aol.com . My birthday party Friday night was lots of fun. I had about 42 billion spanks, smacks, cane strokes, etc.

August 3: Wow, Thunder in the Mountains was great last weekend. It was so nice seeing everyone.  Last week I caught up on making School Canes in preparation for all the "Back to School" themed parties coming up in the fall.

July 10:  If you would like a very special cane custom made for you for Christmas 2008 or Valentines Day 2009  delivery, now is the time to discuss it with me.  I am now accepting custom orders, but only for a short time.  We are well stocked and have all canes ready for immediate shipping in the Royal Pains, Wickedly Traditional, and Multi-Canes Collections.

June 18:   I am back from visiting family in PA and am looking forward to my cane work! I have so much to do! A ton of shipping, website updates, new canes, etc. The canes in the Royal Pains, Wickedly Traditional, and Multi-Canes collections are all fully stocked and ready to ship. So are the beautiful pieces in the Crown Jewels Collection, even though I haven't yet completed the descriptions for those. If you have any questions on them, please email me at WhypDancer@aol.com, or call me at 239-332-2303 (7am to 7pm eastern time, please!)

June 4:  I'm a very proud canemaker :-)  One of my fans from the Netherlands sent me this yesterday.  pet and his Mistress, Lady Charlotte, have a fine collection of my work that they've been gathering over the years.  Below is the photo and email he sent me.

***First Place, 2008 OWK Best Whipped Ass***

We won!!

My Mistress won, on my ass, the "OWK 2008 best whipped
ass" with your twisted loopy canes!!

(OWK=Other world Kingdom, http://www.owk.cz  )

It was a competition with the biggest names in
the Domina world and we won with our secret weapon the
twisted loopy cane!

We will get back to you soon to think of a new idea
for next year, but for now I leave you to enjoy the
winning ass

Greatings,

pet

P.s....compliments from my Mistress as she is very
happy.
 

May 23: I have a fresh batch of Birch for our Birch Rods! Yumm!  Birch Rods can be found in the Wickedly Traditional Collection.   In the next several days, I will be completing the descriptions for the new Crown Jewels Collection.

Looks like a party! These are a few of the new canes.

May 3:  The photos of the new Crown Jewels Collection are up. Reviews have been great so far. I am working on the descriptions and order buttons. If there is one you want, either email me or use the order button. I will complete this as quickly as possible.

May 1:  Photos of the new canes are ready to put on the website. I will be working on it today. I think they really look great and am sure the new additions will be very popular :) Please take a look. They are in the Crown Jewels Collection.

April 29:  NEW CANES!!  The new canes for the Crown Jewels Collection are finished! I am working on photos and expect them to be on the Crown Jewels page tomorrow. Prices of the collection start around $100. They are truly fit for a God or Goddess!

April 2: The new canes in the Crown Jewels Collection are almost finished! They should be on the site in another week or two. I also have a lot of new jewelry for that collection. Canes I am working on: two canes decorated with spectacularly ornate hand made sterling silver and gemstone snakes; a very elegant cane with hand carved mother of pearl and conch flowers (pink and white)with matching stone set in sterling silver and fairy holding a sterling whip; some great new pieces for the limited edition "Scary Monster Faces with Wartenburg Wheels" series, a Butterfly or two, a double cane with a sterling Tiger, maybe a Wolf, canes with various stones and gemstones set in Sterling Silver, etc etc etc.  It is going to be a fantastic selection of canes!! I am excited and can't wait to hear your comments!

March 2:  Yay! March is here! February was crazy. I am working on new canes for the Crown Jewels Collection. I have lots of new silver, lots of new gemstones, and lots of new ideas and inspiration. I think we will like the results. I moved the Crown Jewels design area from my living room floor to a room in my house with a nice new jeweler's workbench. I'm sure the comfortable and nicely organized work space will really help.

February 8: I was not able to complete our Valentines Day canes in time for the holiday.  The 2008 Love Canes will be released in late spring.

January 24: Happy New Year! It was a very busy holiday season and now the Valentines Day rush has begun.  I am working on a very special design for Valentines Day. More about it soon.

November 30: Hello from Black Rose!!  Below is a photo of a cane that I was commissioned to make. It has Sterling silver gleaming against fragrant black goat leather... it is to commemorate Black Rose's 20th anniversary, which is being celebrated this weekend. I am very pleased with the results!

November 6: Below is a photo of the new Twisted Loopy Canes. Individually, they will be sold with black handles. In the set below, they will be available in five different colors. They are proving to be a lot of fun. The can be found, along with more information, on the Royal Pains page of the Canes4pain website.

I also finished the descriptions of the new Crown Jewels Collection Canes.

November 4:  Above is a photo of the new Canes4pain in the Butt Collection. This eight cane set has four brand new styles of canes --  7mm & 10.5mm Twisted Loopy Canes, and 13mm & 16mm straight canes-- that join Canes4pain.com popular canes- the matching 7mm, 9mm, 10.5mm and 20 Lash Rattan Birch Rod. The set is available in five great colors- Black, Red, Burgundy, our new Royal Blue, and Purple. It is available on the Royal Pains page.

 October 23:  I am working on getting the new canes photographed and put on the website. I have seven new canes for the Crown Jewels Collection, as well as the new sets of canes, new Loopy Canes, Twisted Loopy Canes, etc. I expect it all to be available on the site later today or tomorrow. I hope you like them!
     I just returned from DomCon Atlanta, and hosted my annual Happy Slappy Halloween Play Party. Both were lots of fun :-) Next week, I and the canes will be at Kinky Kollege, a great event in Chicago. Then I will have a few weeks to work at home, and then off to Black Rose. BR registration is still open at  www.brevent.org . DomCon LA is the only event I have scheduled for 2008 so far. I will schedule a few other trips, but do plan to slow down on the travel next year. I want to spend more time at home making new canes.

September 19: It was a wonderful summer. I met a lot of you at events, and even took a little "time off" to take some classes and visit family. I have a lot of new things that will be appearing on the site soon. Longer Loopy Canes that have nice, flexible handles, Twisted Loopies (with twisted handles), a new quality of British School Canes, Willow "Birch" Rods in two sizes, Birch Birch Rods in two sizes, and as always I am open to custom orders. There will be new cane sets coming soon too.

April 15:  Finally!! I can update the website! I reformatted my hard drive and had an awful time getting my FrontPage program working with this site again.

I was a vendor at DomConLA in Los Angeles last weekend. I had a great time.  It was really great seeing so many cane fans. I am working on finalizing my travel schedule for the summer and fall. It looks like I'll be visiting Tampa, Atlanta, NJ, Washington DC, Boston, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta again, and maybe a few others.

I have two new canes for the Crown Jewels Collection.  One has a working Wartenburg Wheel rising up from a sterling silver monster face. The other Is a sterling silver Goddess figure (nicely detailed!) with flowing hair and dress, surrounded by faceted amethyst gemstones and sterling silver trim. It would be a very nice cane for a Goddess. I hope to get them photographed and on the website within a few days. If you are interested in either, feel free to email me.

February 9: Valentines Day Loopy Canes and some new jewelry are now on the Crown Jewels page. We now accept all  major credit cards. We have added Discover and American Express to those already accepted.

February 4:  The Flaming Hearts Gift Sets are ready! They can be found on the Crown Jewels page of the website. There are only four sets of this limited edition set available. The Valentines Day Loopy Cane will be on the website tomorrow. There will be five Loopy Canes available.
 

February 3: I expect to have  photos of the  new Valentines Day limited edition canes on  the website  tomorrow.  Flaming Heart is  the name of the set of two   canes (described   below). Beginning  Monday, February 5, our shopping   cart  will  accept Discover and American  Express credit cards, as well as Visa and  MasterCard.

January 20: I am not quite finished with the limited edition Valentines Day works yet, so I thought I'd give some descriptions of what I'm working on. The first is a limited edition cane SET. Matching 9mm and 10.5mm canes in each set, with a sterling silver heart and marquis cut garnet gemstone 'flames' coming out of the top of the heart. With sterling heart trim, of course.  Price for the two cane set will be around $190, and it is limited to only four sets of this design.

The Valentines Day Loopy Cane will have a sterling silver heart with a sterling arrow going through it, a faceted garnet heart, and sterling heart trim. It will be in a gift box with a couple other surprises :) The Loopy Cane edition will be limited to five pieces and will have a price of around $75.

If you would like to pre-order either of these to reserve yours, please email me.. whypdancer@aol.com

January 12:  Valentines Day items are almost ready. There are some full sized canes, special edition loopy canes in a gift box, and lots of new jewelry. It will all appear on the website very soon.

January 2:  Thank you for your continued support of Canes4pain. I love supplying you with fun and evil things to warm up your life. 2006 was a fun year, and I am looking forward to 2007.  I am thinking about designs for Valentines Day limited edition canes. Also, some new cane sets, designs for the Royal Pains and Crown Jewels Collections, etc.

If you would like to meet me in person, I will be attending and vending at the Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket later this month.

December 12:  It has been busy here. I feel like one of Santa's elves lol  Some notes about shipping: I strongly suggest that all international orders are sent Global Express now. It gives us tracking, and gets to you in 3-5 business days.  There is still time to order and ship domestic US orders by Priority Mail or Express Mail. I'd say after December 19th, domestic orders will need to go by express mail. We should be ok with Priority until then.

I have some more Crown Jewels canes that are almost ready.. those that I didn't quite finish a few weeks ago. They should be on the website by the end of the week. I have a fresh batch of Birch for Birch Rods too :)
 

November 17: The new Crown Jewels Collection Canes are here! They are now on the Crown Jewels page of the website.  I am very proud of them :-)                                                   

Usually at this time of year, I make a limited edition cane with 5-10 canes of the same design. I decided  not to do that this year, and instead, use my time to work on Crown Jewels Canes of various designs.

 Almost all of them are one of a kind. I think they will be even more cherished by their new owners because of the individuality of each design. I made a full range of styles, from subdued gemstone creations, to some very extravagant flamboyant works.
I hope you are pleased.

November 9: The new canes are almost ready for the Crown Jewels Collection. There will be a huge range of styles. I expect to have them on the website by Monday. Sneak peaks may be available sooner. I've been working very hard, and can't wait to hear your comments on them. Prices for this batch will start around $95.

October 30: Kinky Kollege was a great event, exceptionally well organized and lots of fun :-)
I am home. I am rested. Watch out, tender butts, I'm back to work, making new canes.

I have some new canes ready for the Crown Jewels Collection. Some new jewelry too. One cane is made using an antique (made in 1850-1890) sterling silver handle that was originally on a parasol or umbrella or cane or something like that. It is spectacular. Hopefully someday I will get that good at silver work :-)  

I will be working on Crown Jewels Canes for the next few weeks. If there is a certain stone or design you are looking for, please email and let me know. I sometimes have pieces started or even finished, but delay putting them on the website. Producing canes is so much more enjoyable than updating the website lol  Feel free to inquire.

I spent last week restocking all of the various sizes of School Canes. I had many requests to make Loopy Canes longer, and that is what I did. They are very nice, and will be ready to ship within a day or two. 

September 18, 2006: I am working on new designs for the Crown Jewels collection. I expect them to be ready in about 3-4 weeks. It was a very busy summer, and I am looking forward to the fall and winter seasons :) You can see me and the canes at www.kinkykollege.com in October in Chicago, and www.brevent.org in DC in December.  I am looking forward to spending lots of time here in Florida in the next few months making lots of canes for you.

     I will be starting some new silversmithing classes next week. I spent the summer traveling to vend, and studying the artistry on lots and lots of antique sterling silver objects. I hope to get as good as some of the styles I saw, and would like to incorporate some similar styles into my cane handles. I think you will be pleased with the results.
     Here are a few examples of antique works that I've been studying. The influence of styles like these will be evident in future cane handles.

July  18, 2006:  My darling customers, the canes4pain shopping cart is now working perfectly. It will accept Visa  and Mastercard transactions, and is a secure system.

I am working on restocking 7mm glossy canes. I am  out of them in all 7 colors. Everyone is enjoying those whippy little stingers.
 

July 17, 2006:    I  just returned from TESfest in New Jersey. It was a great event. I am looking forward to traveling to Shadow Lane, Thunder in the Mountains,   & Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket this summer, and Kinky Kollege and Black Rose in the fall. Please come to my booth and say hello if you are attending any of those events.

I will have a new batch of birch for the Traditional Birch Rods soon. I will be offering a clear coated rattan cane soon.. even  though I can't understand why people are so squeamish about using uncoated rattan canes on multiple partners and they think using leather on multiple partners is ok. But the look is nice..  i do love shiny, sparkly things. For now, if you'd like a cane coated, please request it through email and I will do it for you.

June 7, 2006:  There are several new things around canes4pain. I now make a new item.. "wheelies".  A wheelie is a wartenburg wheel with a decorative custom handle, much like the Crown Jewels canes. Each will be numbered in the order I made them, starting with 1, and going to...?  The owners of the couple that I've made so far are delighted with them.

There are some spectacular new canes in the Crown Jewels Collection. I will be working for the next few weeks building more.

My next stops on the "Summer 2006 Tour" are for TESfest and Thunder in the Mountains. Please come see me and the canes at those events, if you can :)

April 21: **NEW**  There is now jewelry in the Crown Jewels collection. Please take a look. Also, the Reviews page was updated with some photos, and more people's opinions of the canes :-)  I am working on Crown Jewels collection canes, and will not be accepting custom orders for a while so I can get them finished.

April 17: Things have been very busy here lately. I am finishing my silversmithing classes this week (for now, anyway). I have been studying chasing, repousse, and engraving of silver, as well as working on custom canes. Plans for now are to update a few pages of the website. I added a few canes to the Crown Jewels Collection. I will be working on more so I have some to show off on the upcoming canes4pain summer tour.

     I will be adding some other new items to the Crown Jewels collection too. Some sterling silver and gemstone necklaces and bracelets.

   This summer, I will be vending at The Orlando Bash, Thunder in the Mountains, TESFest 2006, Shadow Lane, Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket, and am considering a few events in the fall. I look forward to meeting a lot of you on those trips.

January 18: I enrolled in silversmithing classes again so I could learn how to set the gemstones for the Valentines Day Canes. They are finished and ready for you.. please see the Valentines Day 2006 Canes on the Crown Jewels page of the website. They are a very limited edition of only five canes. I think they will sell out quickly.

I will be in Boston for two days next weekend to vend and show off the canes at the Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket. This two day trip will not delay shipping on any orders. Please be sure to come see me and the canes if you are in the area!

January 5: Valentines Day, 2006
It's coming. I'm working on some very  limited  edition pretties for Vday. Happy new year, everyone :-)  I hope your 2006  is better than you can  imagine. 

December 27: **New Item**  These new Whangee Canes are for people into Corporal Punishment, S&M, or just hard heavy play.  They are not for the faint of heart. They are beyond nasty, as far as levels of pain go. They give lots of intensity with very little effort. Bottoms, don't buy this as a gift to your top. Don't say I didn't warn you.  No two are alike, and each is very interesting looking.

They have leaf nodes every inch or two, and each has a pronounced bulge lined with nasty little bumpy bits. Nasty nasty nasty.

 December 23: I have something new that I'm very excited about. I got my hands on some of the material that was used in the past to make Whangee Canes. This is some very nasty stuff, and not recommended for people into lighter intensity. Each piece is an individual,  one of a kind. They have bulges and knobbly bits.

December 12:  Evidently, canes are one of THE gifts to give this season. It has been very busy here. I feel like Santa's little elf.. lol  I will continue to accept Custom Orders for a while, since I am still working on the batch of Crown Jewels Canes that I started in October.

I have a fresh batch of Extreme Line Red Birches. ouch ouch ouch. They are on the Multi-Canes page of the website. I have some very exciting new designs that I'm working on-- a "bumblebee  cane" and whangee canes. I will soon be working on a beautiful design for the 2006 Valentines Day canes. This year, they will feature heart shaped, deep purple  faceted amethyst hearts.

Winter Elegance Canes, seen below, will be available for a short time.

Please come see me and the lovely canes in person at the Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket in late January.  I hope to meet a lot of you there.

November 17: This year's Limited Edition Holiday Elegance Canes are here, ready to order from the Crown Jewels page of the website. No more than 7 canes with this design will be made. Here is a preview. For more photos, please see Crown Jewels.
 

November 9:  The winter holiday rush is here at canes4pain.com . I have been working on several custom canes, as well as this year's beautiful Special Edition Holiday Elegance Canes.

If there is something special you'd like to make your or somebody else's holiday warm and rosy, please request  it now.  This is the time to  request custom canes, to be delivered in time for gift giving.

I have jury duty today, and will be traveling to Tampa this weekend for the Florida Moonshine Academy's  Back to School event.

October 21: I have some new items that debuted during my summer travels. They were very well received, and I hope you like them, too. The Butt Beater (left) and Loopy Canes (center) will appear in the Royal Pains Collection, and canes with soft fragrant suede handles (right) will be in the Specials Collection.

October 18:  Special, Custom Orders and Crown Jewels for the winter holidays:  
     
 I am beginning a batch of Crown Jewels Canes and am also going shopping for cane decorations. I only make one or two buying trips per year. If there is something you would like me to make for you, this is the ideal time to request it. I plan to have these canes ready in time for people to give or get them as winter holiday gifts.

September 10: I just finished a fresh batch of British School Disciplinary Canes. They can be seen on the Wickedly Traditional page of the website. They are delicious. There is just "something" about fresh rattan, shaped and sanded to a perfect, silky finish.. yummm.. I'm sure you will love them for all of the upcoming Back to School parties :-) Last week was definitely School Cane week here. Lots of them were shipped all over.

August 15: All of the new canes in the Crown Jewels Collection are now on that page of the website. I hope you like them :-) I just finished the descriptions for them today.

I have a fresh batch of Birch for the Traditional Birch Rods (Wickedly Traditional page).

July 29: I and the canes are back from Denver. We were vending at Thunder in the Mountains. What a beautiful vending space.. great hotel, great people, great party :-)  I am running a special on Blue Glossy Handled Canes. A set of three canes (one in each size- 7mm, 9mm, 10.5mm) is available for $60.00. You can get more info on the "Specials" page of the website.

I have several new canes for the Crown Jewels Collection and will be working on putting them on the Crown Jewels page for you to see.

If you are attending the Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarkete next weekend, please stop by the canes4pain.com booth and say hello. :-)

July 13: I and my cane design studio have now moved to a new location in the Fort Myers, Florida area. I now have more room to work :-)  The canes and I are very happy here, and love our new outdoor workspace. It took a long time to get here and get set up, but I am happy to report I am now delightedly working on new cane designs, and restocking birch rods, etc.

Today I updated the Crown Jewels Collection by moving the sold items over to the Cane Gallery page. I did that to make room for the new canes on the Crown Jewels page. They are finished and should be appearing soon. I'm sure you'll like the new designs.

I will be displaying my work and vending next week at Thunder in the Mountains in Denver.  We can be seen in Boston on August 6 at the Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket. Both events were a lot of fun last summer. I am very much looking forward to both trips :-)

April 7: I am happily working away on restocking School Canes and Rattan Birch Rods. They will be ready in another day or two. Then I'll be able to work on some new Crown Jewels Canes. I can't wait to get started on them!

I will be a presenter at the Orlando Bash in June. (www.orlandobash.com) My class will be : "Disciplinary Canes: Getting up to Speed"  It will be a class for people new to the stripes and joys of Rattan.

March 14: I've been in bed with the flu for a week. Any orders I was holding to ship will be shipped tomorrow. I didn't want to get germs on your canes, and didn't feel even close to well enough to stand in line at the post office.  Things will be back to normal tomorrow though.

February 8: I have a new cane on the Crown Jewels page. Here is a sneak preview... it is really nice :-)


Things have been VERY busy here lately. Besides looking for a new place to live (in the same area of Florida), I am taking classes in Silversmithing. I now have the ability to really personalize canes with Sterling or Pure Silver. The pure silver can be molded into any shape. I've been having a great time working with my new skills, and have been accepting orders for custom canes that utilize my new talents. I'm really having fun with it, and know many of you will love the results. I am working on a cane with a person's name written in Rubies, set in pure silver, one with someone's initials, and a few others.

Orders are still going out on a daily basis. It is taking me longer to get new designs on the website. If there is something you'd like me to make, or you are curious as to what new Crown Jewels are already made but not yet on the website, feel free to email and ask. The cane shown above has been finished for over a month. I have a few others not on the website too.

January 11: HAPPY NEW YEAR to my dear friends, fans, customers, and cane lovers!!!!  I  hope 2005 brings you much happiness and many scarlet cane stripes :-)  I'll do my best to keep the stripes coming!

I am working on special designs for Valentines Day. I am making two sets. Each set will have two canes in it. One will be designed with Amethyst gemstones, and the other with Garnets. I will also be making canes with Swarovski Crystal hearts. They will all be ready to show off soon :-)

December 23:  Happy Holiday wishes to you!! I hope that your canes4pain.com canes add a lot of warmth and red stripes to your holiday season! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. It has been a wonderful year here in the cane design studio.

There is just one Jingle Bells Limited Edition Cane available. It can be ordered from the Specials or the Crown Jewels page of the website.

I have a couple of new creations that will be on the Crown Jewels page soon. One has a cluster of 25 faceted Amethyst gemstones set in Sterling Silver, with a handle that is all Sterling Silver and a 2 inch tall Swarovski Crystal Prism at the top.

The other is a goddess figure in Sterling, resting on royal blue beads. She will be holding a  in her arms. She hasn't yet told me which kind of gemstone she'd prefer, though.

December 12:  Gift Certificates are ready!! They have a lovely snowflake design, and can be used to order anything on the canes4pain.com website. No expiration date. No shipping charges to be mailed first class. Faster shipping will be extra. Denominations are in multiples of $25, beginning with $25.

They have a very upscale look. There is a snowflake design in gray-blue, white, and metallic silver. The snowflakes in the photo that look dark, are actually metallic silver. They are very nice, and would make a great gift.

It has been a VERY busy several weeks at canes4pain! Holiday orders have been coming in, fast and furious. We will be shipping until the day before Christmas for Christmas delivery, using Express Mail overnight service. All orders until January are being gift wrapped before shipping.

I have a few new canes finished that will be on the website asap. There is a sterling silver wolf, a cane with a beautiful Tigers Eye stone at the top, a spectacular piece with faceted Amethyst gemstones, and a Goddess-like figure that will be holding a gemstone.. i haven't decided if she wants an opal, sapphire, ruby, or garnet heart though. That's why she is not quite ready. If you'd like her and have a preference, feel free to let me know.

November 25: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone :-)  I really appreciate your support and encouragement throughout the year. It's been great corresponding with and meeting so many of you recently. Have a great Thanksgiving! Today I checked all the payment buttons on the canes4pain.com website. There were a few that were not working.They should all be in perfect order now.

November 17: Today I added six new canes to the Crown Jewels Collection. Some canes with Sterling Silver Dragons, a Sterling Flower, and Lady Opal are all there for adoption. The gift giving season is here.. I am inundated with orders, and the lines at the post office are much longer than usual.  Jingle Bells Canes, the canes4pain.com Special Limited Edition Canes are ready.. see below.

November 13:   I am delighted to announce that the Special Limited Edition Jingle Bells Canes for Winter, 2004 are ready!! They are beautiful!!!
 

The Peppermint Stick Canes were introduced and SOLD OUT at Black Rose, and I only have one Candy Cane Cane left. I will try to make some more, as I catch up on some other things I am working on. Black Rose was great.. lots of canes were adopted to new homes, and I was able to attend a class on Hard Caning.. yumm  :o) 

October 15: Special Edition Canes for winter, 2004... they are almost finished!!! I will be making a maximum of 10 of this Special Edition. I will make five to start, and if I have more orders, will make as many as needed, up to 10 at the most. These are going to be really nice.

Canes4Pain will also be offering "Candy Canes" & "Peppermint Sticks" for the winter holiday season. The Candy Cane canes will look sort of like a red tinsel-striped crook handled school cane. The Peppermint Stick canes are straight canes, with a peppermint stick-like design.  I am sure whoever uses these will find them to be very sweet. I'm not so sure of the recipient. All three winter themed designs will be available in a set, and will also be sold separately.

Speaking of sets and designs coming soon...
I am now offering a Leather Pride Set of canes. It is three glossy handled Canes, wrapped together, with a 2x3 inch laminated Leather Pride Flag. The set consists of a 7mm Red, a 9mm Blue, and a 10.5mm Black handled cane.

     I will also be offering a sets of Wickedly Traditional Canes. The sets will be made from combinations of canes found on the Wickedly Traditional page of the canes4pain.com website... British School and Singapore Punishment canes.

     There are a couple Sterling Silver Dragon and Swarovski Crystal sets available. Photos will be on the website soon.

   I recently obtained some very nice, soft supple, fragrant leather that is just begging to encase some cane handles. When I first started making canes years ago, i offered leather handles and then stopped. Leather handles will soon be back.

Most of what is mentioned above will be ready and on the website within a week or so. Please watch for the new styles.

September 30: I just returned from vending at Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. It was quite an experience!!  It was a real treat meeting so many of you in person!!! I will be staying in Florida until I leave to vend at Black Rose (www.br.org) during the first week of November.

If anyone would like a little host or hostess gift for the halloween party you are attending next month, I will have a few Halloween themed canes ready soon. These are always somewhat silly canes, with ghosts or ghouls, witches, jack 'o lanterns, etc on them, and are always around $15 each. I've been making them for 4 or 5 years.

I am hoping to be able to introduce this year's very limited edition Christmas Canes at Black Rose next month. I can't wait to see them completed.. they are going to be very beautiful :-)  

Photo below shows me with the canes at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco last weekend.

September 12: I've been very busy working on new canes and birches, and a few other new items that should be ready soon. I am starting to work on this year's Special Edition Canes for the winter holidays. I hope to give you a little sneak preview soon.. the canes are going to be exquisite :)  I was working on the handles today. Wait until you see!! A grouping of faceted garnets will be the main focal point of the cane. Where I autograph each one, there will be holly leaves and berries made of Emeralds and Rubies :-) Or maybe that is mistletoe... I can't wait to finish them and show them off !!! I expect them to be ready by November 1st. 

I found some lovely pale blue crystals for a two cane set of Dragon Canes. I'm going to work on those tomorrow. I've been shopping for cane decorations a lot lately. I have these fantastic Porcupine Quills too. I haven't quite figured out how I want them placed on the canes yet. But I will. Sorry, fellow submissives.. you are probably going to hate them (or love them). 

I also wanted to share some party news with you... Dana Specht, a very skilled and well known disciplinarian, is having a party at an exclusive resort in Carmel Valley, California, from November 5-7. It sounds like a LOT of fun. Check it out!
 

August 31: I just put some new canes on the Specials and the Crown Jewels pages of the canes4pain website. I hope you like them. I am busy arranging my travel schedule for the fall, winter and spring. Canes4pain will be vending at Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco on September 26, Black Rose from November 5-7 in Washington DC, Shadow Lane in Las Vegas from April 15-17. I have also applied to vend at MAL in DC in January and IML in Chicago in May, and I am looking forward to the great Orlando Bash from June 2-5. Please come see me if you are attending any of these events, and say hello :)

The new batch of Extreme Line Red Birches (known in my dungeon as "rattle bitches" because of the sound and feel of them). They are available on the Multi-Canes page. I now have the shopping cart finished on the whole website. It took me quite a while to figure out how to complete it for the Royal Pains page of the website. It is connected to a secure server, so your credit card information will not be visible to anyone, including me. I only get your name, address, and shipping address.

August 9: Hello from Connecticut. The canes and I are on our way home to Florida :) We've been gone for a month. I can't wait to get home and work on the new Crown Jewels and Birch Rods. My stock on Birch Rods is getting low.

Here is a photo of my new item-- Real Birch Rods. These will reside on the Multi-Canes, and Wickedly Traditional pages until they are gone. They will only be available for a short time. I will not carry them as part of my regular line. The birch branches were harvested at the perfect time.. early spring, before they sprout leaves. These have a VERY sharp sting and can be used anywhere on the body because they do not penetrate deeply. You will only get surface/skin damage even if you use them hard. But boy, do they sting! ::wince:: 

These Birch Rods will be available for $12.50 with the purchase of anything else on the Canes4pain.com website, as a thank you to my fans. They will not be sold separately. Please see them on the Wickedly Traditional or the Multi-Canes page to order.

July 29: I will be vending this weekend in Chicago at the 10th Anniversary Party for Crimson Moon, and next weekend at the Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket (August 7). This is not affecting shipping of orders from the website. I have all of my canes with me and am still shipping the day I receive orders. Everybody really seems to like the new shopping cart and the ability to pay easily by Mastercard and Visa on the canes4pain.com website :-)

July 3: Goodness, it's been a busy week at canes4pain! The shopping cart is working well.

I've been working on some new canes for the Crown Jewels Collection :)  There is one that has a large sterling silver rose at the top, and the entire handle is braided sterling silver, with no rattan showing through! It has green leaves made of malachite. It is quite a piece. I'm not sure I want to sell it. I think might just keep it around for inspiration and for people to drool over when I'm vending. Not sure yet. Stay tuned.

I am also working on some spectacular canes with sterling silver dragons on them. Each of the 3 larger canes I am working on, has a large Swarovski Crystal at the top and lots of sterling trim. I am considering making one or more of them into a cane set because I've obtained some smaller, matching dragons and crystals. I guarantee that all of the new additions to the Crown Jewels Canes will be really nice.
 

June 29: After slaving away 15 hours a day for about a week, I have the whole canes4pain.com website rebuilt. I got rid of the frames, and added a shopping cart and couple new pages. My credit card processing is working. I can now accept payment from my customers around the world via MasterCard and Visa! The shopping cart is finished on the whole canes website, except the Royal Pains page. That page is being a Royal Pain lol If you want to order from that page, please email me and I can enter your payment information manually. I will still accept money orders too. Now.. to get back to work on canes!!!  Finally!!!

I finally solidified my decision to vend at Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco in late September. The cost and logistics of that event were so mind boggling I had trouble deciding. I have committed my time and energy to it by plunking down the vending fees, etc. I haven't been to San Francisco since 1978. I loved it and seriously considered moving there permanently at the time. What a beautiful area. I'm really looking forward to it now :-)

June 23: I am building a shopping cart for your shopping convenience.

June 18:  I will soon be able to accept credit cards easily without you going through a company such as paypal, etc.

June 15: I have a new item that is not yet on the website. I now have Birch Rods made from birch branches! They have a very intense, sharp sting! When we tested the prototype, I just wanted to hide my butt on the far side of the spanking bench after just a few moderate swats!  I can't wait to hear your comments on these!! LOL  They were harvested at the perfect time of the year, just as the buds were forming in the spring. This makes them very flexible. Two were tested on me last week.. one that was previously soaked, and the other was dry. They both held up very well... we can't say the same for me. Damn, they sting!!! I will get them on the website within the next few days. I need to unpack my camera, etc first.

 The new Birch Rods will be introduced at a very low price. These are not permanent toys, but can be expected to last a year or two. If soaked the night before use, they will last a long time, according to accounts I've read. Because of this and the fact that Birch is not readily available here in South Florida, these will not have the lifetime guarantee that all of my other work has. I think you'll find that their low price more than makes up for that, though :) I'm sure you will love or hate them very much, depending on which side of the handle you are on.

Today I returned home from SE Leather Fest in Atlanta. It was a lot of fun! People kept coming to my vending booth, seeing the name (canes4pain), and exclaiming, "wow, CANES4PAIN!!!! I've felt your work!!!"  While rubbing their butts. lol It was funny and great to meet so many fans at once! The weekend before, I attended the Orlando Bash. I love the Bash! It is so nice to party with my Florida friends! I've been to three events in the last four weeks and they were all really fun. I've been itching to make some new canes, though, and I can't while on the road.  lol  I am finally home for a few weeks. My next trip is July 15th weekend- Thunder in the Mountains in Denver. My schedule gets hectic again beginning then.

In the few weeks that I'm home, I am going to restock my Rattan Birch Rods~ I am very low on Black & Blue Birches and out of Extreme Line & Standard Birches. Then I will be working on new Crown Jewels Canes.

Here is where I'll be the rest of the summer:
Please come say hello if you attend any of these events...
I WILL be shipping new orders during my travels.

Thunder In The Mountains, Denver- July 16-18

Shadow Lane, "Back to College Party", Palm Springs CA- August 13-16

June 2: TESfest 2004 last weekend was a blast. It was great meeting many of you. It was really fun being in NY city :-)

May 5:  I've been working my tail off to build stock so I have enough canes for canes4pain.com website orders, as well as my summer tour which begins very soon.  I was recently dumped by the popular online payment company that most people used to pay for their canes. They said I sell adult items! Ugh. I am currently investigating credit card processing companies to give you a new, quick easy method of payment.

Canes4Pain.com is going on the road this summer! Please come see me-- say hello and try on some canes! I hope to meet many of you in person during my travels!!!

TESFest 2004 in New York City May 21-23
Orlando Bash in Orlando June 3-6
Southeast Leather Fest in Atlanta, June 11-13
Thunder in the Mountains in Denver July 16-18
I am also considering a few other weekend-long events. If you would like info on any of them, click on their name to view their website.

I have a nice fresh batch of Glossy Canes (Royal Pains collection). They are available in Black, Red, Blue, Purple, Burgundy, Hunter Green, and now Silver. I am experimenting with metallic finishes. The shades of blue and purple for these canes has been adjusted to give a slightly darker, deeper, more saturated color than we had before. I am very pleased with them.

I am currently only making Ballsy Canes in the 9mm 5/16" size, instead of 3/8" and 1/4". Singapore Punishment Canes have been selling like crazy in the last couple weeks.

I have been working on the new batch of Crown Jewels Collection Canes. There is a new batch of Grand Dukes finished. Those are the one inch thick & thuddy canes.

April 8:  The Shadow Lane Party in Las Vegas was a blast!! Imagine 400 spanking enthusiasts all in the Stardust Hotel on the strip. We were all reserved on four floors in the same area of the hotel, and you could hear sounds of slapping and giggling all over the place when you walked down the halls.

The photo above shows me and the canes for sale at the Shadow Lane party in Las Vegas in April.  The canes were for sale, not me. Below is the lovely Ms Stephanie Locke using canes4pain.com canes on a naughty boy during the banquet at the Shadow Lane Las Vegas Party.

 

Ms Dana Specht was delighted with her new cane with the bright red handle that perfectly matched her outfit. She looked very beautiful with it and said she is going to use it in her next movie. You can click on either woman's name to veiw their website. Both are incredible women. It was a joy meeting and speaking to them. One even had time to play "cane the canemaker" with me  LOL What fun!!! It was a great weekend!

February 12: My new silver is here :-) I can't wait to decorate new canes with it!! I just finished a new batch of Extreme Line Red Birch Rods. Mine was used on me last week.. ::adjusting halo::  I think they should be called BITCHES instead of birches.  The Garnet Tears of Love Canes that were made for Valentines Day are sold out. I still have a couple of the Purple Crystal Heart canes, if  you'd like one. They can be seen on the Crown Jewels Collection page.

January 19: I am very pleased to announce that the Valentines Day canes are ready. Photos will be on the website Wednesday, Jan 21, probably.  It took months for me to figure out the final designs for these. They are very beautiful!

There are two designs. One is a limited edition of 10 pieces and the other is a limited edition of five.  The design with 10 pieces features a purple (with royal blue accents) Swarovski Heart crystal set atop Sterling Silver. There are a lot of silver accents on this piece, as well as a smaller diamond-like faceted heart shaped cubic zirconia, that sits atop the word "love".

The design with five pieces features blood red-colored garnets set in sterling silver, and winding up the handle between two sterling silver stripes. These also have the faceted cubic zirconia heart accenting the word "love". Both pieces have a lot of Sterling (92.5% pure) and Fine (99% pure) Silver on them.

These descriptions are very quick and simple. The designs of these pieces are very intricate and beautiful. I've left out a lot of details. Please check back on Thursday Jan 22nd to see the photos of them.  All are signed and numbered, and will be ready to ship beginning January 23.

September 5, 2003- I just returned from vending at the Shadow Lane party in Palm Springs, CA. It was great meeting everybody there. The party and the people were great!

This photo shows me and part of the Canes4Pain.com vending table at the party. I was bending over so someone could try out their new cane. The canes in the photo are available on the Royal Pains (in the butt) page.



There are also some canes with red stones and royal blue stones for the Royal Pains page. There is a lot to update, so if you are getting impatient and want something *now*   please email me at whypdancer@aol.com and we can discuss your needs.  

Me and a 1/4" stingy nasty cane and Ian, from The London Tanner at Shadow Lane. His great leatherwork can be seen at www.thelondontanners.com.
