How It's Made

About This Zenwaro Original Design. Beautiful glass hearts forged from recycled grass bottle rests wonderfully within a hand forged iron vine stand, that is hand painted in satin / flat finish. The chrome glass heart appearance comes for mercury paint that is added after the molten glass cools to room temperature. A hand forged Iron Flower Crown / Cap sits atop the Mercury heart. The flower cap is fitted with a cork that tightly fits into the neck of the glass heart, and completes this recycled work of art. The glass sculpture comes in small and medium sizes.
Within the artisanal blacksmith lead by master artisan welder and blacksmith Alejandro Rodriguez creates the Iron Vine Stands one by one. Beginning with 1/4" thick solid steel bars that are cut into specific sizes then individual bars are heated, hammered, welded, and sculpted into an organic entirely unique Iron Vine Stand that have 8 sculpted solid steel arms to hold each size heart naturally it is as though vines have grown around the heart.
Artisanal Glass-blowing that is 100% Sustainable.
Our extended family of artisans utilize recycled glass that is delivered by the truckload from local recycling yards. Mounds of discarded bottles and other glass articles are transferred into the studio then lightly clean, crush, and heated in large kilns where temperatures reach 1700˚F. The artisans then pour the hot glass into our signature designed heart shaped molds. The chrome glass appearance will appear slightly different on each heart, ensuring no 2 hearts are exactly the same.
