Japanese Dorodango

[Eyes on Fire]

Dorodango is a form of "mud art" that is very popular across japan. It is often done in preschool and as a hobby for several japanese people. All Dorodango really is, is making a ball of mud. However as you will see its so much cooler than that.
Step 1: Materials

This is a very simple project. All you will need is as follows.

Dirt/ soil (not sand)
Water
Dry sand/dry dirt (yes i contradicted my self you may use sand for one part.)
a plastic bag
time
patience
a cloth

okay so first what you need to do is find a place where there is wet dirt/ soil, or make it with dry then add water. once you get this grab a handful and start shaping it into a ball. As you do this try as hard as possible to squeeze out all of the water. So neo you should have like a ball of mud like the one in the photo below.
Step 3: Add Dry Sand

now you really need to focus on making a round ball instead of anything shiny yet. after shaping the ball for a few minutes take some dry sand and sprinkle a small pile of it on the ball then wipe it off. this will leave sand stuck to the ball cover the ball with dry sand and you make sure it keeps its round shape.
Step 4: Continue Until Smooth

now just keep puuting heaps of dry soil on the ball and removing them for 30-40 minutesuntil your ball begins to get a smooth surface. Once you think you are done keep going for another minute then blow on the ball to get off any not attached soil.
Step 5: Let the Ball Dry
