Bear rug question??
« on: May 11, 2015, 09:00:40 PM »
What color felt do you guys think look good on bear rugs.  My bear is black.  I have never done this before and want it to look good.  I have to decide by next week.  If you have pics of rugs you have please post. 

I can pick two colors. 

Her is the picture of the bear it will be going with.

I was pretty happy I chose black and charchole (gray) looks really good as a little more subtle accent

I was going to say red and black until I saw longwalker's post about grey and black. I am thinking that would look really sharp.  :tup:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

The brown on black has always been my favorite combination.  :tup:
Are you going with open or closed mouth?

closed mouth...I'm pretty sure  :chuckle:  I'm so indecisive.  :chuckle: :chuckle:  I have never seen a black bear with an open mouth in the wild it kind of looks unnatural to me.
