I'm preparing for making my first dorodango - shiny mud dumpling. I'm breaking down and sifting the dirt, picking out rocks and twigs. This hard, clumpy stuff and this fine powdery stuff are the same dirt.

@weirdfizz Do you need a special kind of dirt? High clay content?

@KarenSohne Clay is actually really good because it bonds together and gives the finished ball the shine. From what I've read, if clay content is too high you can add other things. But more sandy soil often needs clay added. So it's kind of about finding a good balance.
@weirdfizz Actually, if l can make one smallish pinecone wreath this year for christmas ( for us) l'll be happy. I have a bunch of pinecones and already have a gluegun, so it should be possible
