    I'd just like to make two points on the "resin vs enamel" issue.    

    1) There is precedent far calling things other than
    glass-fired-onto-metal enamel. Go to the paint department of any
    hardware store! 

    2) And more important: My personal opinion is that resin "enamels"
    should not be looked at as a imitation vitreous enamel any more than
    PMC should be regarded as imitation casting. Yes, the materials can
    be used that way, but each is, in fact, a material/process on its
    own. As such, each offers creative opportunities that did not exist
    before. With resin enamel, new non-heat-resistant materials can be
    incorporated, for example. The colors can be inlaid into wood (or
    vice versa), found objects, all kinds of things that vitreous cannot
    touch. I'm sure this is not even the tip of the iceberg.            
    
    Of course no one should mislead others about the nature/identity of
    materials. But we will all have more opportunities for creativity if
    we try to keep our minds open.
