Apart from the beautiful process of making this shiny ball of mad it is very pleasing to watch your great smile and your enjoyment. Kind of peaceful Angel, you are . Thank you 💞
I don’t know how I got here but I’m so happy I did! Playing with mud and making mud balls/mud pies was my favorite activity as a kid. This video is nostalgic and gives me a great reason to play with mud again 😃 Thank you 🙏
I’m from France and it’s so silly but I used to do mold balls exactly like you did when i was 5,6 years old and my friends made fun of me for doing that..I’m so happy to see someone doing it as well and knowing there is actually a real technic behind it !!
From Singapore here, and I used to do this all the time too at the beach! It had to be the powdery fluffy sand, I would also add the seawater and roll and squeeze then add more dry ones. I even dug holes and buried them in the hot sand a bit to "bake them" 😂😂😂 it's amazing people would pay for it hahaha
I'm not gonna lie some people don't get it but in an off-grid farm in the desert or some outback place even the internet will not be able to fend off boredom. Its small things like this that make waiting more fun. Waiting for the seasons to change, waiting for chicks to hatch, waiting for plants to bloom, waiting for trees to grow. There are lots of chores in a farm, but ultimately not enough and chores are often not enjoyable being repeatedly done every day for years on end.
The farm and animals do keep me crazy busy and I don't get that much free time to make them but when i do I enjoy making them while watching a series or listening to music ❤️
I wound up subscribing to your channel, because you're pleasing to watch. You look like you are having so much fun and get straight to explaining how to do it. No nonsense. Thank you so much for sharing!
Ooooh....very interesting.....I just deleted a bunch of repetitive & suspect channels, & this popped up. Omg...this woman's voice & demeanor are so calming...simply lovely! And I'm fascinated by what she's doing....they come out so perfect and gorgeous in her hands. Thank you for sharing ❤
@BigRockFarm Not as smooth because the sand is not as fine as dirt. It's surprising how solid they become though. Usually you can roll them without them falling apart. Makes a nice addition to sandcastles too.
I saw a video where they said to add a tiny bit of olive oil (just a few drops) to the rim of your cup and continue polishing with that for a high glossy shine.
That was so lovely. Im a gardener with plenty of soil. Thank you do much for the relaxing, amazing video. Im glad your feed showed up.😊You have a new subscriber.
It is more expensive than free😂 but if you want to try these with colour check out Dorodango Noriko , she makes some amazing ones using clay and soil and gives you the recipe
Hello! This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen! A shinny ball of dirt without using any polish. Just dirt, water and some manipulation and you’ve got a shinny ball of dirt. That’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing this art form. ❤️💜💚
Thank you for such a lovely comment . Please do try it and let me know how it goes ❤️Once it starts getting it hard shell you will know why this project makes me so happy😘
Thank you for sharing this❣️ The techniques you used and every step of the process you included in this video offer more details and result in a higher quality, more attractive, and more stable dorodango than other videos I have watched on making soil spheres. I also appreciate the loving nuzzle your feline supervisor added. ❤ Making a soil sphere is an enjoyable activity for those of us who spend time working the land we love and treasure. Having a dorodango from our native soil is a piece of art and a symbol of the partnership between the work of our hands and the good earth.
Beautiful piece of art! It is amazing that its completely organic straight from the earth. I love how theyre diffrent colors and sizes. They remind me of planets. Im going to try this with my 9 year old daughter.
The first time i made one i was so amazed that the shiny sphere was just dirt and water even after going through the whole process myself 😂and still after i have made so many i always get excited when i see it turn from mud to a hard ball right in my hands. I hope you and your daughter will absolutely love this project❤️
How amazing this is! I'm completely surprised at the beauty of this object from soil alone. How wonderful you have a partner to share this love with too. Very enjoyable to watch.
I'm watching from the UK it's wet and cold but I'm inspired to go out into my garden and dig, I think this is natural child's play earthing healing Thank you for sharing lovely ❤️
I think what makes this so awesome is how simple and meditative it is and how beautiful it comes out like others here yes I'm watching a demonstration on how to make a mud bal😂l😂😂
😂 Well thank you very much for watching my video x x x and You are so right , it is definitely all about the process and the magical feeling as soon as your mudball turns its texture right in your hands
Im in the uk and our mud is totally different, very dark brown and very moist most of the year, could this still work if i dried it out well? It looks so therapeutic, thankyou for sharing💛
I don't see why not, once I mix mine with water they are soaked and then totally dry after the playing , tossing and bag time 😁 I hope you do try to make one . Once you feel the ball changing texture it is so satisfying,if you try it let me know how it goes . I love hearing other experiences
Ok so i watched a couple of other tutorials and omg you actually showed a technique that provides the most success. Thank you so much!! I will let you know how it goes. I will compare the two techniques i chose. Thank you so much for sharing your skills ❤
Exactly! This is the very best and well explained video I have seen yet. I was able to make a few durodango, but this method is a game changer!🎉. Subbed for epic video👍🏽
@@ms.construed1305 She is cute and great! but I'm sorry if I sound rude but the best one I saw is from Dorodango Noriko, wich are the shiniest and well explained yet, she has a lot of other videos explaining how to do it with fallen leaves and how to color it
Now this is one hobby I've found here in UA-cam that I believe I will be able to afford, once I get my sifters. This is truly intriguing to me, I love it and they are very beautiful.😊
I don't know what people do with it but i enjoyed every single moment of the making, kind of reminding me how playing and working in the nature under the sun feels like, with no worries and it's been years since i did it but you simply brought me back to it, can't thank you enough, and li like your smile it seems that you love what you do
Thank you❤️❤️ but I do not sell them mine .I make them because I love the process and get attached to them . This video is more about encouraging others to try this amazing and relaxing activity. If you do want to buy one there are many for sale on Etsy 😊
I too am here enjoying you enjoying playing in the mud and I think I felt like I was 7 again and wanted to go play in mud with you. However it's 32degree and cold and ground froze... but I promise when it thaws we are playing in the mud together!
A old location i lived as a child down a lil dirt road a creek ran thru off the hills. Always had a steady flow of water. W. The prettiest blue/grey clay. Always made clay balls and bowls😊
What a creative idea. Try and use an old sock to do the last shine work. Put the ball in a sock, hold the open end closed, hold the toe end and shake it back and forth
Those are cool, it would look neat to use them as a border for a small garden bed, especially a rock garden! What a neat idea! Thank you for sharing, happy holidays and God bless. 😊❤
So happy you enjoyed it and they would look beautiful as a border but I would worry about the weather and also water hitting them,as they are just dirt so they are still very fragile . I think that is where I find them even more beautiful but they could get ruined so easily if water had to hit them... happy holidays to you too Jennifer x x.
Never heard of this name. I will try and add this to my growing lexicon. Wabi Sabi is my favorite up until this. Kaizen is another. But those are concepts. This is a real thing one can actually touch!
Very interesting. Thanks. It's probably a good idea to use a protective face mask when doing this. To prevent inhalation. Some would suggest googles as well.
I have only tried with dirt around my area but you can also make them with sand and clay they have a much shinier polish but i prefer just dirt😊 unfortunately apart from ornamental they don't have another use but when you make one you will understand why i think they are so special and you will hopefully be very happy you made one ❤️
funny, I used to do something similar with sand on the beach as a kid. I used to like getting wet sand, making a ball out of it, then rolling it in hot, fine sand from further up the beach to give it an outer shell and see just how round I could make the sandball. It also involved the rolling/dropping motion, though of course sandballs will just fall apart very easily compared to compacted dirt.
This is such a lovely video to go along with a lovely earth artist. Thank you for your gift. You are beautiful. ☀️ Question: would one be able to work on this an hour at a time and then store in bag as they go or would it dry out? How might we store it in between to pick up where we left off? Any suggestions?
Oh wow thank you for your lovely words.❤️ ❤️I think as long as you get it to the hard stage first which can take me an hour and a half sometimes less if I don't make it too muddy , I think you will be able to bag it and continue when you find the time X X Trying it out would be the way to find out for sure and I would love to know how it goes ❤️❤️
I've heard about this technique before, but didn't know how much time and effort it takes. This is just 'wow'! This video is such a stress-reliever 😊 Thank you so much for sharing)
@@xmyhrt_hope2live you will do it because once you start the soil play will relax you and then your mud ball starts getting harder and you will feel a real excitement to get the ball to look smooth , for me it is such a great feeling every time
@@Sarahshappyplace I definitely could feel your excitement through the video) It's like how you call a second-hand embarrassment, here I had that second-hand excitement) A lot of positive energy!) Right now such videos are really precious with war in my country and all... Helps to maintain sanity) So thank you again for sharing the video
The whole process is an exercise in patience and persistence. It is a very relaxing activity. This is what I get out of it . The bonus is that you end up with a shiny sphere something totally different to when you first started out. I am not sure what people who buy them do but I can't imagine they are more than Ornamental

Congratulations your almost at 1k im going to post you to a few reddit places, hope it helps you out. You seem to be a fun gal, keep up the fun videos😊
Mine are made with just soil from the land but If you would like to make a sand and clay Dorodango which can come super shiny I suggest you watch A video from Dorodango Noriko .I feel she has the best ones using sand and clay that I have seen.
Apart from the beautiful process of making this shiny ball of mad it is very pleasing to watch your great smile and your enjoyment.
Kind of peaceful Angel, you are .

Thank you so much for you lovely message , it made me smile ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Sarahshappyplace Have you ever tried mixing the dirt with dust from gemstones? If that's a thing. Lol

That is awesome, I would love to see them x x if you have Instagram tag me and I will be able to see them
Literally been doing this at the beach since I was a kid lol can’t believe it’s a thing
Awesome,it's a beautiful thing ☺️
So appreciate your enthiusiasm and the fun you transmit through this vid.
Thanks Stephen 😀
I do this on the beach to make sand cannon balls. Works quite well as long as the sand is fine enough.
Oh wow sounds like something I would love to do , does it get a smooth surface too?
@BigRockFarm Not as smooth because the sand is not as fine as dirt. It's surprising how solid they become though. Usually you can roll them without them falling apart. Makes a nice addition to sandcastles too.

That was really cool!
Thanx for this it's pretty interesting I might try this one day
Please do!❤️❤️
so cool! reminds me off Cob!
Those are cool, it would look neat to use them as a border for a small garden bed, especially a rock garden! What a neat idea! Thank you for sharing, happy holidays and God bless. 😊❤

Never heard of this name. I will try and add this to my growing lexicon.
Wabi Sabi is my favorite up until this. Kaizen is another. But those are concepts. This is a real thing one can actually touch!
Would it become stronger if you heat it afterwards?
I don't think it will because it is only dirt and if you add heat it will probably just crumble
We literally use to make mud pies as kids lol The best memories.
This is quite fascinating as to how you make the mudball so beautiful 🤩 Great exercise while also relaxing the mind. ❤

Oh thank you! That is so sweet , I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 💗
I'm trying this 😊.... is it any kind of dirt? ....and what do You do with the sphere ❤❤❤
I have only tried with dirt around my area but you can also make them with sand and clay they have a much shinier polish but i prefer just dirt😊 unfortunately apart from ornamental they don't have another use but when you make one you will understand why i think they are so special and you will hopefully be very happy you made one ❤️
What does she use to polish at the end?
I just used a duster.. one of those soft yellow cloths
With the time a single ball took to make, do you do have any time left to do anything else besides?
There are more than 4 hours in my life thank goodness 😂😂
Wow I never heard of this but I might try some day
I hope you do Sharon , once you have it in your hand you will know why i made this video❤️😊
Impressive!❤
I absolutely would do. this as a meditative activity
It really is calming
funny, I used to do something similar with sand on the beach as a kid.

So, its used something like a decoration , like in a Bowl on a table .. understood
Please forgive my ignorance, but what is their purpose?
Do they have a useful function or is it just decor?
No problem😊 ,they are just ornamental but in my case it is more about the process to make it , it leaves me with such a great feeling and so much fun😊
Wow, I'll definitely make one too!
Looks quite relaxing.
It really is!
I’m pretty sure this video is what the founders of UA-cam had in mind when they started. Very interesting.
Thank you for such a lovely comment❤️
So, I’m assuming you need to do a start to finish like in one days setting. Can you break it up into multiple days and still get the same results?
I haven't tried over multiple days but I left one in the bag overnight and it turned out fine 😃
Wow that's really fun. You are obviously a woman who loves life and finds joy in simple yet complex things (& beautiful )How big is the biggest you have made?
Thank you X X x I can only make them as big as my palm or they are really hard to work ❤️
Congratulations your almost at 1k im going to post you to a few reddit places, hope it helps you out. You seem to be a fun gal, keep up the fun videos😊
Wow, thank you so much Mary x x Much appreciated
How much clay to sand content to make this work?
Mine are made with just soil from the land but If you would like to make a sand and clay Dorodango which can come super shiny I suggest you watch A video from Dorodango Noriko .I feel she has the best ones using sand and clay that I have seen.
Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for watching it ❤️
It reminds me of making mud pies as a child. I would mix up mud and make pies for hours! :)
I used to love that too ! I guess i still do 😂
