I recently purchased Metal Clay & Color by Mary Wohlgemuth on Amazon.
I'm always trying to find ways to add color to my metal clay,
aside from adding other art beads which I love to do!
This book has a ton of ideas I'm looking forward to trying a few of them.
Most of the projects are geared towards silver Metal Clay but I look forward to experimenting and seeing what works for copper since that's mostly what I do these days.
Patricia Kimle showed Filled Frame Beads using polymer clay and silver.
This is definitely one I can use with Copper.
I especially like that she shows this technique using several different shapes.

Pushing Polymer by Cindy Silas,
is a beautiful piece and I think I'd like to try it too!

And I think my favorite project has to be 
Prairie Blossom by Barbara Briggs.
Not only for the color she adds by making polymer beads but I really like the silver bead she made.

To be honest the list goes on, there is a ton of great and varied information in this book!

it's given me so many ideas I look forward to giving them a try.
