Shiny Graphite Ball made from Clay and Graphite (Dorodango)

- A step by step how-to on creating a dorodango with a graphite mirror finish. Compressing a very thin layer of graphite makes it get very reflective. And upon testing, found it had higher conductivity than uncompressed graphite powder, maybe kind of like graphene.
Shout out to my friend, Mike Room, for inspiring this idea.

If you want to know more about dorodangos, here's a link
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorodango
------- Materials: ------
You can get clay at your local ceramic supply, or you can process it yourself from dirt. Here's also a link to some facial clay that should do the job -

You can get sand from your local sand and gravel yard, hardware store, wash, or nearest sandbox.
Marble powder or marble dust really helps the process, you can sometimes find it at your local hardware store, but here's a link -

Pure graphite powder is readily available at the local hardware store, you want to make sure it's extra fine and pure graphite.
here's the link to the one I've been using -

I think dorodangos are the definition of "trust the process". Cool video !
Dorodangos are made of mud. Thats the entire purpose

You mean prime example
I bet it feels amazing. So smooth and slightly cool to the touch.
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!
God dam it now ur just making me want to make this even more
Fire it in a kiln?
I want to put it in my underwear,,,,,,.
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!
Making dirt great again!
Incredible transformation from irregular clay mud ball to nearly perfectly spherical mirror reflecting the known universe... and that drone footage!!!
Thank you, what are you doing up at this time?
Hope to get to see you soon as well
lol
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.
That’s awesome!!! Love what you are doing Neto!!! Love the pictures of the desert. Brings back lovely memories.
I could watch you make Dorodango all day. Will you post some more videos showing how you get different colors in the dorodango?
It seems to be your own way, you should to get through... to get your own the sense and understanding of it :)
Great work, great editing, great soundtrack! 🙌 Thank you💗
What a mesmerizing video! Thank you for sharing that beautiful work of art.
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.
Unbelievable!
Amazing job my friend, i admire you!
omg.... your art with this tecnique is something indible.
i'm ufficially in love with your perfect job!
Nicely done! You obviously have it down to a fine art. It looks so relaxing making a dorodango.
Wow, thank you so much for showing this!
I have a playlist called "That's Amazing!" and things like this is why.
GHOST i just looked and it says that you have no playlists

So that one guy was on to something, and as I read that comment, I was imagining how a graphite would look like, then found this video. Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Excellent! That podcast you did was great!👍
This was very satisfying. Thank you.
That's marvelous . So beautiful
3 am watching some random dude rub a shiny ball....best 5 minutes of my life
Thanks for posting.... the video & final result are wonderful !!
that's amazing! never even thought of that way to make something spherical!
Not enought thumbs for technique. Awesome work dude.
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.
thats so awesome,beautiful polish
The way he used the pvc pipe for rounding the clay ball is as simple as genius! Great content
Beautifull, great job, delicate and lovely
Thanks for another amazing video!
Insanely beautiful

It's wonderful!
Stunning!!
That's so amazing!
Sublime. Bravo!
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.

Rj Peterson though I was the only person still here, lol.
@@devinm.2398 I know when there are safety sallies that need to be told to shut up.
Rj Peterson said beautifully.
@@JackSilver1410 Ah yes because why warn someone about Pneumoconiosis, Silicosis (and other risks) when you can just watch them continue to put themselves in danger all for the sake of 'manliness'.
WOW! This is so crazy!
Amazing. I'm perplexed.
That is insanely incredible! 😊❤️ I want to try it sometime.
wtf!!! this cake batter recipe tastes like crap!!! 😡🤬
Ralph Kiderchah I know right like wtf I thought this chocolate cinnamon cake pop would taste like chocolates for cinnamon but it just tastes like pencil lead smh some people

Now that’s just taking it for granite
Results in very quartz textured cake

Thank you.
Thank you! I don't respond to that many comments like this but I should, I just want to say thanks for your support it really helps.
Great work. Looking for a way to make mirrors out of clay and sand.
Amazing video
Thank you for sharing. It came out beautiful. I want to make one with graphite 😍 I just made my first one yesterday with Dutch soil... For a first try not bad. Love this art 😍😍😍
Nice!
It's really hard to see the ball from the drone shot, but I'm glad you still took the effort to capture it from every angle.
Thank you for recording editing and posting for our. Viewing. .
Geez another hobby 😊 thanks. At least this one is going to be budget friendly.
satisfying video❤❤😋
thats very cool
This channel is absurdly cool.
Subscribed. Gorgeous.

Thank You
this is genius!
Very nice.
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!!
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.
Гениально! Шедеврально!
Like ;)
Lindo.Você é o maior mestre dessa técnica.
I did this with mud one time, making it into a smooth, solid ball, I think my siblings broke it but it was nice while it lasted
Great ❤
Now I want to make one
M.C. Escher approves of this ball.
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!
