rakukuku 122 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Ok, I posted a pic in my gallery of two banana slugs; one raku fired and one high fired. Which do ya'll like the best? I am still desperately trying to place a photo on my page but all efforts have failed. it just won't let me do it. nothing happens. any clues?

TJR 361 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 I like the one on the right. Both are great, but the carbon cracks from the raku take away from the realism. TJR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcia Selsor 1,785 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 The one on the left. I like the color better. The realism isn't necessary. Marcia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobS 9 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 I vote for the raku one as well. The one crack on it's face makes it look like it's smiling. You forgot to make some slime trails for them. Nice work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
islandawg 3 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 I have banana slugs that frequent my back porch steps- they are cool! I vote for the Raku one too, he is glamorous enough to sit on my bookshelf -minus the slime trails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Bednarek 6 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 I like both of them. Personally I think it falls under the individuals personal taste. They both have there merits. From my personal choice the one on the left I would thing if the lines were closer together it would give it more texture. And for the one on the right I would like to see a little color contrast in it emphasizing the texture and flow. But this is personal taste and I'm sure some people would prefer the opposite. If were a teacher judging them on appearance they both would get a high grade from me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc McMillan 46 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 The one on the right for me. The glazed surface seems to work better with the grooves and gives it a slimy appearance. Both are cool. Mc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRankin 186 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 I looked at them three times since yesterday because I couldn't decide as they are both great. So now my latest feelings are leaning toward the one on the right. I'm drawn more to the textured lines. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rakukuku 122 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 Hey thanks all for your remarks on the slugs. If I can figure out how, I am going to post a picture of the "Slug Taxi", a new sculpture. Banana slugs are so gross but around here they are iconic. I am now working on a king and queen slug. rakuku 1 islandawg reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CroneRanger 8 Report post Posted June 1, 2015 When I lived in Oregon, I would take out the garbage barefooted, at night. I used to get those nasty slugs squished under my feet and between my toes... ooooey goooey! However, I like the yellow one. He speaks to me, says, "don't go barefoot in the dark."

jrgpots 245 Report post Posted June 12, 2015 I think your slugs are cute... We used to control our banana slugs with salt. So that made me wonder how your slugs would do in a salt kiln....lol Jed 1 LeeU reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
