One of my favorite earth tone glasses is Canyon de Chelly from CiM. It reacts in interesting ways with other glass colors. Here are some examples of beads I've made with Canyon de Chelly:
Canyon de Chelly base with ASK Caramel Apple scrolls, etched
Canyon de Chelly and Effetre Copper Green, etched
One of my favorites - Canyon de Chelly base with Double Helix Psyche scrolls
This might be my favorite set ever with CdC. The base is Copper Green and silver foil, the scrolls are CdC :) The beads are etched
This silver-cored bead has a Canyon de Chelly base with Psyche "flowers" I made from a striped CdC/Psyche latticino
Here's a set made with the Psyche flowers
So, there's a gallery of my favorite Canyon de Chelly beads to date! There are so many other glasses I haven't tried CdC with, but if I find some great new combos I'll share them with you here.
Hint: If you work with Psyche and Canyon de Chelly together, give the Psyche a couple rounds of reducing/oxidizing, getting it metallic, then erasing the metallic shine. This will develop more colors.
:)
Have fun on the 4th!
Love ya beautiful bead peeps!
P.S. Soon I'm moving my blog to my website. I'll let you know when that happens. I really don't want to leave the glass community here on the Blogger blogs though, so I'm still going to keep this blog open and post here too, to some degree, I'm not sure how it will all work yet!

OMG I have a set of those first ones!! Unetched! So happy to have stumbled across your blog (via Gunilla Back), look at all the OTHER lovely beads!!! Have to visit your shop again soon. I guess I'm a fan of Canyon de Chelly too!!
very pretty! love how swirly they are!
That Canyon de Chelly is a grand color- sort of a taupe-y mushroom. It seems like a chameleon, changing depending on what you pair it with. Any idea where the name comes from?
Wow, what wnderful color combinations. I love Canyon de Chelly with copper green or with Psyche. Stunning!
Nice picture with the best color combination
Goody, I just ordered some of that. Thanks so much for the tips.
I love the look of these Canyon de Chelly beads! I can't decide of I like the Phyche flowers the most or the copper green w/silver foil. I do tend to love the matt look and these etched beads fall in that category. I am moving so I need to buy beads after I get set up, don't want to lose my goodies in the move.
Love the looks of these CdC beads.
My most favorite is the one with coppergreen with silverleaf en CdC and you inspired me to use this combination. Blogged about it here:http://mariekuniek.blogspot.com/2011/08/btw-copperstudieskoperstudies.html
The combination with CdC and Psyche is also gorgious.
Thanks so much for the inspiration
I've just found your blog, and website, and shop! Your work is breathtaking!
I love the silver core beads with Psyche Flowers, I wish I could order those! I will keep looking and hope to get info about where you are selling the beads....
Mystic look of the beads are beautiful...the mixing of the copper texture with the colorful beads have created a novel impact on them...very pretty beads.
