Bear rug question??

[jbeaumont21]

My bear was jet black and I went with the sandstone felt.  Mostly because we have a lot of beige in our house and that color seems to go with about everything.

Nice bear!

Better just do a full mount. 

Already have a full mount bear.....   Just when you think rugs are expensive.

I wanted to save on wall space so I went half mount with the ears back to make it look bigger. My buddy did a rug and did black on black to make his look bigger.

I like it.  Thanks for sharing...now I have one more to the list.

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.

Good choice  That gray on black is really nice looking too

Do you have a picture?  Haven't seen a dark green yet.

I went with the brown and green. I like the red and black for black hair though.

My only advice is have the rug with the mouth closed.  The prostetic mouth on mine is too small and looks obviously fake.

I personally don't like the red on black, grey would be better to me.

Green and Black.  Looks like I need to do some dusting.

I like the tan around the bear, then the dark brown beyond the tan (outer edge) it shows off the bear better, plus its all earth tones, usually blends in well with other colors as apposed to red or green felt. You can go with other colors with future bears, you will have to decide then if you want them all looking alike or different.

I've got an old black sow with dark brown under black felt, closed mouth.  I think she looks great.  Work by Tubbs Taxidermy, message me if you want to look at it.

My rug has black and grey.   I like it it goes with everything.
