Kirsten Bloomer's Piece with Elizabeth's additions

I received Kirsten Bloomer's four cast iron figures and immediately shackled them to their own copper pillows. The chain was made by annealing wire and wrapping it around a rod,the cutting one side of it with a cutting disk. The shackles were easy, wrap copper around the ankle or waist of the figure, leaving a tab, braze on, punch a hole for the chain. The pillows were a find in the scrap yard. Pipe that has been cut with a big shear, usually looks like pillows. The copper shoes were added to the one figure that didn't have feet. I had to fill the holes in the legs with a rod and braze. I suppose that means there are little brazen feet inside those shoes.
