I started the core of my mudball. I was concerned about getting it compacted enough because of my arthritis, but the dirt being so fine and getting a balance of dirt and water that feels like cookie dough made it easily compact. Layers will be slowly added and the outer layers will be rubbed until shiny.

It feels like a damp rock slightly lighter than a baseball. You don't want me to throw a ball of mud at you! 😄
