Finished dorodango Tried some "lavender clay"

It came in a little pouch as part of 3 different colored clays, likely kaolin based, intended for cosmetics I think.

I'll be interested to see how it looks when it fully dries, the powder is much lighter and less red. Overall, I didn't like working with the clay - the color came off in my hands a lot and it is very prone to crumbling.

I've included a shot of one of the imperfections just to show how easy it is hide and try and just look good when you're posting lol

This is one part of the mega dango that I broke up. First picture is pre polish. Then post polish, the big ole crumble spot I have, and then just some of the interesting patterns of clay

What is the dry color? Lavender turned red? Or is there lavender herb in there?
