What are some creative things I can use as trellis's for my tomato and cucumber plants?

I know about the metal cage things, but I was just wondering if there was something al ittle more creative looking. If you have any pictures that would be great too. Thanks.

Reply:Lattice. I've used a stepladder for a trellis, but that's probably not what you are talking about.. You can run strings between posts and have nearly invisible support. You could stick forked branches in the ground for them to climb up, for a kinda natural look. I'm out of ideas, tough question.
