Errata for this article

Correction for page 140
The dorodango photo that opens this article was taken by Amelia Milazzo, and was incorrectly credited to Bruce Gardner. The dorodango balls pictured in that photograph were created by Bruce Gardner, a well-known dorodango artist living in New Mexico. The article that accompanies his photograph is based on a process he developed and documented on his website, www.dorodango.com.
