Bear rug felt colors

[jbeaumont21]

I just took a bear in and decided on the black and sandstone but now after reading this I am wondering if I made a bade choice?  I don't live near any dirt/gravel roads and made my choice based on my house decor.  I'm not a huge fan of the maroon, green or brown and my bear is very dark black.  Has anyone ever done black on black felt? 

(Sorry didn't mean to jack your thread.)

The sandstone sounds like it would look better than white, a little softer color variation.  My first bear, a smaller one, I did black over green, the black along the fur made it look a little bigger, my second rug I did red inside on black as he was over 7 feet and didn't need any help. 

I think if you include vacuuming the felt in your weekly housekeeping, you would not have a problem with dirt.  It's just remembering to do it that is the issue.  Also, some places seem dustier than others, I probably would not do a light color in my home, but we are one of the dusty ones it seems.  Maybe I need to vacuum more....

I took mine in and requested walnut brown over black. My bear was jet black and I have seen some really nice examples.

I think sandstone on black will look nice.  With Black Bears thd benifit is that pretty much any color combinatin looks good.

So far everyone I have done a Black Bear for chooses black as the bottom layer of felt with a different color as there top felt color.
