Shiny Graphite Ball made from Clay and Graphite (Dorodango)

[@mr13776]

I think dorodangos are the definition of "trust the process". Cool video !

Dorodangos are made of mud. Thats the entire purpose

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!!

[@0The_Farlander0]

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.

That 360 shot was incredible!

[@johnsumner2987]

I bet it feels amazing. So smooth and slightly cool to the touch.

[@KalinSteen]

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!

[@jellobean3614]

3 am watching some random dude rub a shiny ball....best 5 minutes of my life

[@scottpitner4298]

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.

[@richardbidinger2577]

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.

[@robinsiciliano9084]

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.

[@TrainYourBrain621]

The way he used the pvc pipe for rounding the clay ball is as simple as genius! Great content

[@ccsuperbad346]

You have magic hands my friend. Amazing work.

[@loganabbas4243]

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.

[@VincentWoo]

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.

And our Dojo closed permanently due corona... and generally i never had any free time... so, any, in short words I now watching this mesmerising work of art :D - I'm just minutes to grab the garbage shovel, and raid the nearby playground for material... :D :D :D You make my day! - Dispite me and my girlfriend living in a 38m2 2 room flat, i will try this! -I don't give a f.ck if i make mess! :D :D :D - but i can't guarantee to not fly my work of art into some neighbors forehead :D :D :D

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!
