If you get a chance, check out the latest edition of Metalsmith. The Exhibition in Print theme this year was color-
While the choices tend to be pretty conservative, I feel that the curators did a good job of showing selections of various coloring methods. Especially those of you interested in either enamelling or in resins, give it a read through!!

Enamelling Suppliers and Resources
Enamelling Suppliers and Resources:
Thompson Enamels: based in Kentucky, a good supplier of lead-free enamels and enamelling supplies
Enamelwork Supply: a great selection of japanese enamels, leaded enamels, some supplies- carries IT solder
Schlaifer's Enamels: good selection of enamels, both leaded and unleaded. I've used this site to try to color match some old Thompson's leaded enamels
Rio Grande Enamels: Several years ago, Rio Grande bought Schauer enamels ( great colors) and have started selling those colors in addition to supplies and kilns- like the one we have.
Enamelist Society: publishes Glass on Metal magazine, website has good information
Books:
The Art of Enameling by Linda Darty
Contemporary Enameling: Art and Technique by Lilian Bachrach
Enamels, Enameling, Enamelists by Glenice Matthews
Enameling Principles and Practice by Kenneth Bates (I am not positive, but I think this is an updated version of Bates' book from 1967 which is one of the fundamental texts on enamel)
