Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Testers report a wide variety of colors from Canyon de Chelly.
"The colour of Canyon de Chelly, depending on how much you strike it and what you put it with ranges from a pale, tawny tan to a rich, variegated gold. It can also look a little more dusky, and be struck to a more pinkish/purply hue." Read more at Melanie's blog. – Melanie Graham
  • Testers report that when working with Canyon de Chelly, it is difficult to achieve consistent color results.
"It will strike beautifully if you are careful. It is more just flashing it in the flame after it cools some, after the glow is gone. You can even just flash small areas on a larger bead and get areas to go purple & pink. Marvering and then flashing also works well." – Tim Gottleber
"The colors and effects you can get from Canyon appear to be limitless by changing the rate at which you heat and cool, and what temperature you work it in.  On the positive side, it is really easy to get the striking colors--and they are beautiful!  On the negative side, it is also really easy to unstrike the colors that you just got and your bead can get blotchy if you accidentally heated up an area that you struck." – Bethany Lemasters

Canyon de Chelly with Aurae.

"Copper Green spreads on the Canyon, and the Canyon de Chelly sinks into the Copper Green. That's why the Copper Green stringer line looks so fat and the Canyon stringer line looks so skinny. Also, a dark line reaction forms between these two colours. The thing that makes this dark line reaction more interesting than other dark line reactions is that it is a reddish-purple colour instead of black or grey. Neat!"

"I made a cool discovery about Canyon de Chelly. I used some of Val Cox’s 'Ocelot Spots' frit on it, and some silvered ivory stringer, and I got some amazing hues of brown and gold. So rich!" See more at Two Glassy Ladies' blog.
