Her husband was the opthamologist who brought radialkerotonomy (laser surgical fix for nearsightedness). She wanted to go as a cataract! I covered a hula hoop with what she called "ripe cataract" colored vinyl to emulate a cornea. It was lightly stuffed, giving it curvature.

But I did build my one ottoman once from a mattress sample and some left over dresser feet from a furniture store where I worked. In fact, I need to recover it.
