In addition to being such a visually striking craft, I get the impression that your work is very meditative; that is, it allows for long moments of thought with just you and the task at hand and little else.
gam mal Hi, I'm the other person who helps make these videos. The ball actually doesn't stain anything. The graphite is highly compressed from the glass jar, so it doesn't rub off at all. And yep, it is slightly cool to the touch!
63 years old and it has taken me this long to find out about my own culture. I'm half Japanese - mother's side - born in Tokyo. Ever since I was little I loved playing in the mud and making mud balls. Drove my mother crazy - drives my husband crazy too. Now I know why!!
You’ve motivated me to get completely into this. It’s awesome!! I got some sifted sandy soil from the backyard. Got some plain clay cat litter for cheap in a large bag. Some containers, jars, bowls, spray bottle and a spice grinder too. I used the grinder for the clay and then a mesh strainer for the dirt. Found a good ration with water for make the core mix. Then I’ve taken powdered clay and other stuff I’ve tried for the shell. This is really fun and relaxing. I like making anything really and glad I found this. Thank you.
If anyone ever tries to tell me "you can't make dirt look nice", I'm going to pull up your videos and make them watch them. Dude, you have crazy skills. Love these videos.
So that one guy was on to something, and as I read that comment, I was imagining how a graphite would look like, then found this video. Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Hey this is a really wonderful video, but consider wearing a mask while mixing that much dry clay and graphite! Don't want to catch a lung of any of that stuff, and its easy to avoid.
@@JackSilver1410 Ah yes because why warn someone about Pneumoconiosis, Silicosis (and other risks) when you can just watch them continue to put themselves in danger all for the sake of 'manliness'.
I have tried a time or two to make one of these when I was pretty young and during that time I couldn’t find much about them on the internet like how the process goes and how to fix problems you run into but just from watching one of your videos I feel motivated and confident enough to probably try again now that I understand it better just from seeing how you handled it. Great video.
I absolutely love watching you create these. It’s amazing and inspiring. I also watched the episode that demonstrates the process of creating a gorgeous earth/clay floor. You guys are appreciated for sharing your talents and knowledge. How lucky to find such elevating vibes while checking out a few how to videos for weekend project. I now have to figure out how I can incorporate a earthen floor somewhere at my house and when I can spend the day dedicated to learning to create the spheres.
I truly admire the commitment, focus, patience and - above all - skill that it must take to create something so delicate and beautiful. I always enjoy your videos for the educational value they provide, while simultaneously being highly enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
Who! Not Cool youtube, thanks for informing us. have you had such long non-skippable ad before? Also what part of the world do you live if you don't mind me asking?
@@TheNitoProject I've just started getting these type of ads the last couple weeks and it's not on all videos but usually when I get notified of a new video (on any channel) and I click to watch it. I live in East Texas near the Shreveport Louisiana border area.
I happened to discover your channel today and am super happy. Turning sand and clay into such beautiful things, you are blessed. Creativity, hard work, patience and the ability to create beauty out of the simplest of ingredients, kudos to you. May you be showered with more creativity that gives you even more happiness.

@@TheDeepDiveLLC havent you ever watched phantasm ? They have little balls like that that fly around stick in peoples head and drain there blood and.brains out
I love your videos, I work with clay myself (as a wheel thrower). I love your videos from the music selection, the natural sounds of your craft, and just the process in general. But I do have one question: Do you ever worry about clay dust causing silicosis? Because I know this amazing art technique uses clay dust which can cause silicosis. Other than that I am super interested in this technique and look forward to more awesome videos!
This is awesome. I'd love to start making these with my kids with dirt from everywhere we travel. Do you have a perfect beginner instructional for doing these?
have you tried metalizer powder? when i used to build car models i found some stuff that after buffing came out looking a chrome like gun metal. you could get a big jar for a pretty good price too.
I tried making a dorodango once and it came out... alright, it's not really the dark arts. But now that I've seen this video.. I do have a pound of bronze powder that's meant for cold casting... Hmmmmmm...
I think dorodangos are the definition of "trust the process". Cool video !
Dorodangos are made of mud. Thats the entire purpose

Fire it in a kiln?

That 360 shot was incredible!
Incredible transformation from irregular clay mud ball to nearly perfectly spherical mirror reflecting the known universe... and that drone footage!!!
Thank you, what are you doing up at this time?
Hope to get to see you soon as well

The way he used the pvc pipe for rounding the clay ball is as simple as genius! Great content
I could watch you make Dorodango all day. Will you post some more videos showing how you get different colors in the dorodango?

3 am watching some random dude rub a shiny ball....best 5 minutes of my life
You have magic hands my friend. Amazing work.
This has to be the best finish/surface of them all. It looks like metal.
A Palantir is a dangerous tool.
I did this with mud one time, making it into a smooth, solid ball, I think my siblings broke it but it was nice while it lasted

Thank you! I don't respond to that many comments like this but I should, I just want to say thanks for your support it really helps.
It's really hard to see the ball from the drone shot, but I'm glad you still took the effort to capture it from every angle.
Give this man a medal
Geez another hobby 😊 thanks. At least this one is going to be budget friendly.
Space is really into your videos.
I feel like, if Batman had a hobby, this would be that hobby.
Why?
@jonathaneast3727 it's boring, time-consuming, solitary, and requires a lot of willpower to complete
omg.... your art with this tecnique is something indible.
i'm ufficially in love with your perfect job!
Nicely done! You obviously have it down to a fine art. It looks so relaxing making a dorodango.
U r simply awesome ....
Never hav seen such magic ...
Unbelievable!

Using graphite made me wonder if you could electroplate it.

Pretty please
Thank you for this astonishing demonstration! Please comment on no straw used in the clay ball.
This was very satisfying. Thank you.
Love it. Next dorodango should be an iron powder one.
Great work. Looking for a way to make mirrors out of clay and sand.
This was the best one i have ever seen
thats so awesome,beautiful polish
I like your style, gotta try this.
Thanks for posting.... the video & final result are wonderful !!

Pretty cool. It makes me want to order a hematite ball off Amazon.
excellent video! I have a question: how to prevent graphite to come off after finishing? (i.e. not to stain clothes, hand, etc)
He's a professional
@@joecobra48 that's not what he asked
I know that he uses wax on some of his other dorodangos. I wonder if wax would work in this case as well?
I assume it can easily be scratched and would brake if falls on hard ground. I love all your beautiful techniques.
Wow, thank you so much for showing this!
Sooo beautiful.
Ahh so the key to getting it round is to keep adding dry clay and smoothing for as long as it takes. I really like the shiny graphite too.
Excellent! That podcast you did was great!👍
