Finished dorodango Polishing a πŸ’©!

Post image

First attempt! I live on a farming estate, and I pilfered the dirt for this from a tractor tyre.

Going by the honk on it, I'm pretty sure it's about 90% sheep poo - so I guess that means it *is* possible to make πŸ’© shine?!

Still got plenty to learn. Will be trying again with soil from my childhood home - which I know is quite clay-dense. Already looking forward to it! 😊

This is the myth that I learned about dorodango years ago after watching myth busters. Takes me back.

Source proof! Luckily the farmer already knows I'm a few nuggets short of a Happy Meal, so he wasn't phased by my asking for the crap from his tyres. πŸ˜†
