Don't know if there be enough interest to do a second thread on the topic, but in case there is (and if not then this thread will simply fall by the wayside) ...

Found the following (see link) while surfing the web. While not garden frippery but rather a photo the gent took while visiting a sculpture park, it would make for an amusing lawn art theme I think....

Here is a link that might be useful: creative use for a car

Very entertaining, Paul.

Don't usually stress about ants in gardens, but those would be another matter.

When it comes to fripperies, why not go BIG? Does woven grass count? I think this is stunning.

Somehow I think I'd get a letter from the HOA if I did that to the grass in my yard.

Ho yes, I could definitely have some of that - might even set my daughter on it (her of the elaborate braids and waist length hair.

The ants...and car....are exactly the things I am steeling myself against (no pun intended) as youngest son's welding skills 'improve'. (I have seen plans!!!) I tried to divert his creative impulse towards plant supports but was met with snorts of derision.
