Ghost Stories - Blog Posts
Hello dear friends, may I present in the making photo no 3 of my new sculpture called The Lost Boy Of Venice. Work has now begun on the little ghost boy and I'm slowly sculpting up the standing little figure.
There's a long way to go and at this stage it's about working out the right proportions and the pose of the little boy. I will model the figure as though he is kind of emerging out of the up right tablet before he haunt's the streets of Venice.
The round shape in the corner will be modelled in to a tambourine, the story depick's that the little boy played with this around an hour before he lost his life to become a 507 year old ghost.
I really look forward to showing photo no 4 of this project very soon and of course this will show further developments on this sculpture, I wish you a great week dear friends, Take care 🙌🤗

myths & urban legends masterpost
I really love hearing about ghost stories, folklore and the like, and i’m sure there people out there who can relate, so I decided to throw together a masterpost. this collection is the result of a half hour worth of googling around. I apologize if there are any broken links - if you catch one, please fix it. additionally, if you know any good links that aren’t listed here, feel free to add them!
browse carefully - some of these are pretty creepy. lots of violence and swearing scattered around, etc.
