      that girl in okc silica exists in clay and exposure to it (superfine dust particles that the naked eye can’t see), can lead to silicosis (google it). just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe. that said, the exposure for both the clay dust and aluminum dust at this level is probably not the worst thing if only done once but a respirator that blocks .3 microns is recommended. 👍🏽

You are making and uploading three videos a week, running your other channel, posting to various social media accounts, researching and creating your videos, and taking care of two kids and your bees and everything else in between. So it’s coincidental you mention in this video you’re needing stress relief.
    As a single (divorced) mom to two teenagers who is doing everything alone, I need to take some pages from your book. Maybe I too need to make a shiny mud ball and just zone out and let the stress melt away (or try to). It beats furrowing my brows and pulling out my hair. lol You’re definitely inspiring!

Is it as dense as a rock, in the sense of being hard to break if it drops? (Although I'd be a little heartbroken if it broke in the attempt.)

We used to love making things out of clay. My Dad being an illustrator and very good at making things would make clay Dinosaurs for us to play with. I remember he also made a kind of landscape out of bits and pieces with the clay for us to play dinosaurs versus cavemen.

You're an absolutely amazing parent, your boys are so lucky to have such a wonderful mom to show them all these great things. Even finding clay is a fun adventure and even just rolling a clay ball on a bottle is a fascinating experiment.

    YES DO THE ALUMINIUM BALL! But do it the original way by just hammering it, no polishing with sand paper

    I'm not crying watching your boys growing up, no, not at all. 😭 How absolutely precious are they? You have such a beautiful family, and I give you all of the respect for keeping them anonymous. 💜 Would you ever include them in your videos if they wanted to be in one?

  • @DennisMorrison1955
    @DennisMorrison1955 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved that you included your family and went into the outdoors! With all the broken brick I wonder if there might not have been brick manufactured there back in the day. Also looks like a good spot to dig for old bottles and relics!

      @FindecanorNotGmail 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, Adam and _Jamie_ used dung. Lion's dung specifically I believe.
      And they weren't allowed to say "turd" on TV, so they had to say "polish poo".

    • @chronicgaming3280
      @chronicgaming3280 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The aluminum ball has been so over done and is such a waste of aluminum foil.

    • @amadeus484
      @amadeus484 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I doubt it is rock-hard, since the clay is not fired.
      Though, this does raise a question. What would happen if you fired a dorodango in a kiln?
