I knew there was a reason I've been collecting and hoarding dirt in different colors from around New Mexico. Now it's time to make some shiny dumplings.

We used to do this as a form of play during the 90's when we were children.I remember if there were cracks on the surface we would just spit on it and then smoothed it out. This is kinda nostalgic.

Wow they are in New Mexico, now I know I can get dirt from my backyard and make art

its that wonderful smell of wet earth after a wonderful rain storm

Oh! This reminds me of the old days playing in the sandpit, and after using wet sand to make a mountain, you add dry sand on top and it gets all sturdy and nice.

I create in a much different way. I start with very fine dirt then smooth with glass. It’s very zen regardless.
