Today I visited Mitani-san, a plasterer living in Kyoto, and made a dorodango using Kyoto pigments he gave me! A precious natural pigment sourced right here in Kyoto. The blue was so vivid 🩵 and when I marbled it with white it turned into such a cool piece!
Right now I have requests for bloodstone color, purple, and crystal! Crystal… I honestly have no idea how to recreate that one! Maybe make it white? 🤔✨ I want to try it next time! 😆
You are welcome to leave your color requests too!
I have a 2-hour tutorial video on YouTube that goes into detail about how to make dorodango, the theory behind why it shines, and explanations of the materials, so please check it out!
It should answer most of your questions!
And the tools and materials I use are available in my shop, so come visit through the link in my profile 😊✨🩷
