    The ancient japanese did this as a symbol. A symbol of patience and hard work. With hard work even a pile of dirt can become a shiny gem. Now you have proved that you are capable of great patience and hard work and that you dont give up.

    Amazing! I have a jar of dirt that I collected at over 50 locations on a long journey through 20+ countries. It includes dirt from the forest floors of Sweden all the way to the sands of Iran. The algorithm just presented me with the perfect idea to level up this little keepsake from a very special episode of my life. Now I wish I had taken more, it will make a very small marble indeed unless I travel more. :D

    So it was "dorodango" ...
    I used to do this technique when I was younger and in spring or autumn on the beach and the forest on the cliffs nearby. We just took a big or two hands full of muddy sand from that area, where the waves disappearing in the sand. We formed a kind of ball with it with twisting while throwing it from left hand to right hand and vv. Every now and then we took a little bit less muddy or just dryer sand from the beach and added it around this ball. We were perfecting the technique of drying the ball with throwing it from hand to hand and grinding and forming it with turning it around and around. At the end, means after about 2h, we were only adding really dry sand or soil and were kind of polishing our sandball while it got perfect spherical and really robust.
    We actually were able to roll it over the pathes in the forest or even concrete later. But mostly we had fun with just throwing it down the cliffs and hearing a loud dull bang of the impact.
    Everytime nice to know, that those intuitive techniques have a name.

It seems that once the water has completely evaporated out of the ball, it will become brittle or distorted, or perhaps split apart on its own.

    When I was in first or second grade, I accidentally discovered making cob by doing a similar process. Found some really smooth, clay-rich soil, got a little grit from the running track, sand from the sandbox, a bit of fine plant fiber from the field, and water from the drinking fountain. When I was finished making one, I would wrap it in damp paper towels and bury it in the leaf litter in a little clearing of trees by one of the buildings until next recess. I called them "muddies," and I taught my friends how to make their own :) until this one girl saw me making one and told me I wasn't allowed to in a really mean tone. I legit cried for like 2 hours because my sweet, precious baby autistic brain could not possibly comprehend why anyone wouldn't want to make a nice mud ball, or why someone would go out of their way to stop me from making one when it had nothing to do with them. I didn't make any more after that because I was afraid she would tell on me and I'd get in trouble.
    Anyway, fast forward a decade, I was revisiting where I grew up and was walking through my old school while it was empty and I remembered making them. I went to that same clearing and dug around in the leaf litter a bit, and the mud balls I made were STILL there wrapped in the paper towels, hard as a rock. I couldn't believe they kept their shape after all that time! I buried them under the leaves again and went on my way, but I think of it from time to time. If I ever go back to my hometown, I think I'll stop by again while school is out to see if they're still there after 20 years. Probably not, but who knows? :)

      Btw, you should consider doing it again, even filming the process (I’d love to learn). I wonder if you can make them creature shaped - like little blobs or whatever - and scatter them around parks and woods etc. Makes me think of how during the lockdowns people would leave little painted rocks or wooden spoons in random places for others to find and feel happier. I can imagine people coming across little cob creatures on their bush adventures and be super delighted, esp kids. I think I’m gonna try do something like that for my kids. The world feels so devoid of magic sometimes, especially when things seem to keep going wrong and all that gets accumulated is trauma instead of magical memories.
      I’m glad I came across your story. Thanks for sharing it. It felt really nostalgic eventhough it wasn’t my story. Reminds me of the quirky, harmless, pretty adorable but socially shunned activities I used to do as an undiagnosed Autistic kid. Those were the best moments - where our creative imagination met our intelligent curiosity, before someone shat on it with their irrelevant and inconsiderate judgement.

    I had a project in like grade seven and it was basically a "make a step by step on anything you want" type thing. Mine was dorodango. One of the tricks I learned that helps with the shine factor without cheating with wax or spray is gently pressing/rubbing it with glass/ceramic ware in addition to a microfiber cloth. Sped it up a ton and it looks way shinier!
