We used to do this as a form of play during the 90's when we were children.I remember if there were cracks on the surface we would just spit on it and then smoothed it out. This is kinda nostalgic.

I just realized that they look like maltesers

Oh! This reminds me of the old days playing in the sandpit, and after using wet sand to make a mountain, you add dry sand on top and it gets all sturdy and nice.

That smell is called Petrichor.

I feel you they used to have just low quality videos of people making them not really explaining . This honestly didnt really help me out that much either tho 😂 like does the first have to have a little bit of clay in it ? How do you get it super shiny ??? Does it matter what dirt you use ?? ECT

Tried so many times to make a Dorodango but has never worked, this is a skill I'll never learn.

I create in a much different way. I start with very fine dirt then smooth with glass. It’s very zen regardless.

cool video!!! thanks Barbara!!!

My ball feels sandy, do I need to find a more fine clay?

It's much easier to use a pipe opening or a bottle to shape them. And they come out nearly perfect spheres

Now I want to make one of these too :)

Thank you for making all those cartoons in the 60s.

I was making these when I was 8 at my neighbors lake.. now I gotta take it to the final step ten years later and polish it

just wanted to say Hikaru dorodango means shiny dirt dumpling (it's not really a dumpling but that's the best translation haha) if it was just shiny dumpling it would literally just be a shiny dumpling that's not made of dirt :)

I'm still looking for a good video of the whole process. The best explanation I have seen so far is on here: www.kyokyo-u.ac.jp/youkyou/4/english4.htm --> uh...some japanese professor I think? Fumio Kayo is the guy's name. You can also reach that same site via Bruce Gardner's hompage, where he has his own explanations: dorodango.com That first site has time estimates for the drying and some videos of different stages. I've tried it a few times, but so far, my results have been pretty underwhelming ( T __T) Uh! Also this youtube video: watch?v=I5p7PN4a7gg It's a japanese step-by-step for children. Mute it and just watch. It at least gave me a good idea what to look for.

@kalimer0968

6 жыл бұрын

Oh also also, to give you a more direct answer: You kinda don't. Not seperately at least. Pouring the dirt over it again and again, and brushing of the excess with your hands, is a bit like using really fine sandpaper, plus it fills out small gabs in the surface. So the making is the polishing.
