Is a great place to share what you make, I'd would love to see it.
You might be asking what is this? here's a link to Wikipedia all about dorodango.

The introduction to the film shows the refining and processing of clay. There's plenty of information about how to do that, but there's a link below as well. I usually use already refined clay from local pottery supply stores. You can also buy it online at the link below.
Powdered clay on Amazon:

How to process your own clay:

Other materials:
Dirt/Clay
I used the local soil here in Arizona. Your soil could be completely different ratios of clay, sand, silt, and organic matter. You might try doing a jar test on your soil to help identify what ratios of clay, sand, etc.
Sand
The sand was from a local sand and gravel yard, but sand from Home Depot or your nearby park would do just fine.
Straw
Most people don't even use straw so it's totally optional, I'm using rice straw chopped and screened through 1/8 hardware cloth or screen, but you can use various other fibers such as cut up strings, hemp fibers, dry grass, and many more.
Screens
Sifting can be helpful to process your material, removing rocks and larger debris. It's good to have various sized hardware cloth from the hardware store. Kitchen strainers can work as well as window screen.
The Core
Most people don't start with a dry core, but I find creating a base first that doesn't crack or fall apart to be a bit more reliable. If it's too rich in clay or silt you might want to add sand to reduce the expansion or, add fibers like straw to hold it together. If the soil crumbles and doesn't hold together, then it's probably too rich in sand, silt, or organic matter, and you probably want to add more clay.

Hand Polished
There are many ways to polish clay, but one of the funnest is to just use the friction of your skin and a bit of elbow grease, this can become incredibly shiny.
Screen Texture
To achieve a good result it helps to add fine aggregate or marble dust with the clay, to achieve a thick layer over the core that doesn't crack.
String Texture
Fibers or strings doesn't really matter and a dusting of clay might help to polish it up.
Stamp Texture
You can use any sort of object to get interesting results. The sky is not the limit!

So happy to finally share this project! Me and my younger brother or not filmmakers but we try hard, great to see that hard work pays off.
Humble and gifted artists you are!
Yes guys, good stuff! Great balance. Thank you.
Wow guys, you are brilliant!
Maestros de la tierra y del vídeo!!!!
It is amazing, honestly. Truly inspiring and beautifully presented.
One of the best videos i have ever seen
Seriously impressive production from such a tiny channel.
You don't have to be a big channel to have big skills
Having well over 100k subs is pretty big.

@@rlqcm Oh, you're right. Didn't see that lol.
I polish using a very soft cloth... I do mine really old school, like how I did when I was a kid. I've never seen them done this way, outside of using the top of the jar to help round and smooth the surface, but before I ever did that, I learned to make them using my hands alone and only a soft cloth for polishing with fine dust. When it came to making the "core" we would just use soil that had been highly trampled so it was a very fine dust...I was taught different as a kid by my grandfather, we didn't add clay over mixed soil and straw. So, it's interesting to see another technique. :)
No matter the technique used, these are really beautiful! The wabi-sabi of some of them, I just love it.
This is the longest comment I have ever seen
Finally a video where music, content, and cinematography are beautifully in sync! Will watch multiple times and share. Thank you for producing. Love the old pup near the end.
Much appreciated and honored, thank you, that's my dad's Chow Chow named Ellie she might be arguably the best part of the film.
Well perceived and noted.

Copy of my comment:
I want to hear the guitar/acoustic and drums do some Gypsy Flamenco.
...and see the Art that inspires.
I'm waiting with most positive expectations.

Yes, great, please continue in this, its importat to spread the knowledges of natural building. We are sharing this in Slovakia, central Europe. Greetings from Organica, Artur & all the slovakian natural builders:)
Absolutely gorgeous. Film making skills becoming incredible. More, more, more PLZ ;]
Thank you Sir🙏 from this old Aussie lady, you have inspired me to build a home for my husband and I. Watching your builds and wall treatment clips has taught me that, this method of building is a ‘meditation ‘ of construction resulting in a grounded Healthy living space as opposed to a ‘stress build ‘ giving us a toxic space. Your spaces are where I see myself CONNECTED with the people around me and Mother Earth, give back to our land and be able to afford a whole house by saving on labour and a lot of materials.
I’m going to watch multiple times. Sure I’m gonna make a few of these cool things, but the music is hitting my head just right 🙂
“I think we..I think we’ll have something.” God damn right you do. This channel is an aphrodisiac of earth, hands, and cinematography.
So satisfying, I gained a sense of tranquillity from watching both your craft skills and cinematic techniques. Excellent production, thank you for the experience.
I am really kind of in awe! Creating True Art from Dirt. I am really inspired by this.❤Thank you
I love how the camera focuses on the hands, the hands always in motion, like a magician's.
Beautiful! I love watching you work!
Top quality film making, editing, style, your choice to keep the sound natural with very little unnecessary noise, all to create a beautiful end product. I am a painter. I came to see the textures. Will be implementing many of your techniques into my work. Is that your mom in the other video? I'm guessing you got at least some of your excellence in everything you do from her. You should all be proud. You are artists and fine storytellers. Thank you so much for sharing. Your work is so appreciated. I hope you guys continue your work together. In my idealistic mind, I hope you all as a family figure out a way to stay on your land, creating beautiful works that you can sell and spend your lives happily together instead of working some horrible nine to five job. Best of luck to you all!
Wow. I was completely mesmerized through the whole video!
The spin of the sphere, the 360 with the horizon line in the background is a great touch.
The production quality of this was through the roof!
Absolutely outstanding.
