My First Dorodango

April 25th, 2008 · 5 Comments

My morning class recently embraced (er…sort of good-naturedly, grudgingly attempted) the new sensation that is sweeping the nation, HIKARU DORODANGO!

We had some good fun and I’m pretty pleased with the way my own non-perfectly spherical first ever attempt at the brave new world of dorodango turned out. The eureka moment when the dull mud ball first starts to reflect light makes all that rubbing and buffing totally worthwhile.

Everyone, get up. Go outside and make this satisfying alchemy happen for yourself.

Dirt from my back yard...

Making the the ball…

Making the capsule…

Aaaaaaah…

DORODANGO!!!

    Wow. This looks amazing.

    How does it work?

    Mr. Ross, you gotta give a heads up when you go changing your blog address!
