How to make a Dorodango with this awesome Ancient Japanese Technique. Step-by-step guide

[@katarzynaherman4814]

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 💞

[@BigRockFarm]

Thank you so much for you lovely message , it made me smile ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jordanrock3494]

​@@BigRockFarm Have you ever tried mixing the dirt with dust from gemstones? If that's a thing. Lol

[@BigRockFarm]

@jordanrock3494 my partner made one with sand , clay and crushed quartz , it looks very beautiful

[@roxrequiem2935]

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.

[@BigRockFarm]

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 ❤️

[@Lilithlaterreur]

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 !!

[@BigRockFarm]

Thanks for sharing X X if I knew this when I was a kid I would have made many back then too ❤️

[@TheCyranrmc]

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

growing up in the islands we would make sand balls similarly from wet sand creating the ball and then getting up to the dry loose sand to help firm it up...nice

[@lonnarheaj]

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.

[@BigRockFarm]

Oh my goodness what a huge compliment.thank you so much .yes there is something magical about making something with your hands only using native soil

[@puffinjuice]

I do this on the beach to make sand cannon balls. Works quite well as long as the sand is fine enough.

[@BigRockFarm]

Oh wow sounds like something I would love to do , does it get a smooth surface too?

[@puffinjuice]

@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.

[@BigRockFarm]

I have now seen 2 dorodango videos and just 3 days ago I had never even heard of dorodango. What is interesting to me is the guy in the other video I saw used a very different process than what I see in this video? So it leaves me wondering are there different methods to achieve the same result or maybe the different methods produce different types of dorodango or maybe some ways are just faster or easier than others or possibly some of the dorodango videos are just fakes?. I have no idea?

[@BigRockFarm]

I can't answer for other videos but I watched many techniques and tried a few different ones too with different mediums , sand and also clay but I found this technique with just soil and these simple steps to be my favourite and easy to follow so I wanted to share it.

Hi Kathleen, each one takes me a different amount of time but i would say around 4 hours in total without the waiting of when it is in the bag of course , and i do spend most of the time catching up on a favourite series when the outer layer gets hard and when i am polishing it .

That might be your opinion but some of us really do appreciate this ancient craft. For one, it utilises a natural free resource and costs nothing. Also, it is a wonderful exercise for fine motor skills. Making something out of mud is incredibly therapeutic.

[@stunni72]

I have to ask....... Why? What are they used for? Not that I think things can't just be pretty..... but they seem fragile as they are only soil and nothing else, they cant be salvaged if they crack. In that case, you have to start over.... And i do understand the meditative value of doing something.... But to me, using loads of time on something without some sort of purpose..... is a waste of valuable time. The purpose dont have to be measurrable, but it just has to be there.... So i would really like to know what value you find in them.... ❤ Besides that..... people paying big money to buy them is taunying all the people around the world who don't even have enough fo feed them selves every day..... But that only gives this video high value..... because it talkes against those waisting money to buy them.... 😉

[@BigRockFarm]

They look beautiful and knowing it is starts as soil and ends in a shiny sphere makes it special . In saying that i have seen them for sale but truly believe the beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it is more special it you if you make it yourself . This video is about the rewarding and relaxing process . I do many things because of how they make me feel and not always about the result. When we come into contact with soil, a bacterium called Mycobacterium vaccae is absorbed and it activates a small group of neurons containing serotonin. This serotonin boost is thought to make us feel better by acting in a similar way to antidepressants. I can't explain to you the feeling of accomplishment though you will just have to make one and find out if it does the same to you .😊 Thanks for your comment I enjoyed reading it ❤️

[@stunni72]

@BigRockFarm thank you for answering me. And it makes sense. That's the same chemical process that gives peace inside when working in my garden. And I might still have the feeling that doing so has more purpose than the sphere..... But I think I'll give it a try when summer comes back here.... When I paint, I do it for the process..... not for the result..... so why not a soil sphere for the same reason.... 🥰
