My dorodango is finished! Made from dirt from my yard, water, and a lot of jokes about rubbing my balls.

It is a beautiful art form. I was intrigued by your project and so I did a search on "dorodango" and it's fascinating. Nice work!
@QueenOfEverything I'm so happy my first one turned out so well! I've already got a bucket of dirt in the house so I can make more during winter.
@QueenOfEverything Some people who want to make them fast will use a little wax. Mine would be more polished if I had controlled the texture more while drying...but, first time. Traditionally, it's not done with extra stuff. Just a good balance of clay in the dirt and a long process with a lot of patience.
@QueenOfEverything Yeah, my sister-in-law looked at me like she was wondering if she should be concerned when I told her I was going to turn a ball of mud into an art piece. 😄 Until I can get some of those stands, I'm just going to cut an empty toilet paper roll into rings to use as stands.
@weirdfizz
I think your's turned out beautiful... gotta admit, wasn't real sure when I saw you with the mud and just starting!
Although you do need one of those cool dorodango stands to highlight its awsomeness!
