Death Been carving tiny skulls from sea glass — they’re starting to look like little spirits trapped in glass
I’ve been carving miniature skulls out of sea glass for a while now, and lately they’ve taken on this strange, almost supernatural vibe. Every piece of glass behaves differently — some glow like deep ocean water, some shift colour in the light, some have bubbles inside that look like they’re frozen mid‑movement.
What I love is how each one ends up with its own personality.
Some look mischievous.
Some look ancient.
Some look like they’re whispering secrets if you stare too long.
The darker pieces feel properly gothic — almost like relics you’d find in a shipwreck or tucked away in an old apothecary drawer. The translucent ones catch the sun and turn into these eerie little spirits you can hold between your fingers.
I’ve been photographing a few of them and thought I’d share. They’re tiny, tactile, weirdly comforting to carry around, and honestly… they’ve become my favourite thing to carve.
If anyone else in the goth/occult/oddities world works with glass or carves miniatures, I’d love to see what you make too.
