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.

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

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