Looks and sounds like a fabulous weekend.
Tell me about the hikaru dorodango. (My wife translated for me.) Does
it fire and glaze, like ceramic? It's beautiful! May have to try that
next campfire....

Nope...it's just dirt, water, and your hands. My example is novice
compared to what can be achieved. But really all you do is make a ball
of mud, try to pack it as tight as you can, then you keep dusting it
with dry dirt and wiping it off. It goes from looking like a knappy
suede ball, to velvety, to leather, and the more you do the shinier it
gets. Good ones look like polished marble or glass.
I saw one at a local art gallery, and was completely amazed. Went home
that day to give it a try. Apparently it's a playground activity in
Japan according to the write up in the gallery. I did some research at
home and there is plenty on the interwebz which is where I learned how
to make them.
Have fun!
