It all started with the picture on the right side of my banner... a real Kakelugn. But what is a Kakelugn?
A Kakelugn is a tiled heater, made of (as the name already says) soft baken tiles. It is a heater that only needs one hour to get hot and provides after this hour a comfortable temperature for the upcoming 12 hours.
It works like a fireplace. You place wood in the small hole, fire it and close the doors. The whole heater gets the hot temperature and it ventilates through the holes on top of the Kakelugn or it's attached to the airsystem of the house like a fireplace is.
The Kakelugn I made is out of order and used as decoration with a candle inside. I want to make some more decoration for around the candle, like some dried flowers.
