This is one of the first resin ashtrays I made. It was for my mother, so all of it was pink. I used a lot of pink pigment and also crushed up some pink rose petals to put inside of the resin. There is a vintage Playboy picture inside of it.
While doing this ashtray, I learned that you have to measure out the same amount of pigment for each layer or else it will look different. I also found out that I should probably do thinner layers when working with flowers, because they float to the top of every layer and I do not really like that aesthetic.
This ashtray is unfortunately not for sale, but if you would like a similar one, please shoot me a DM on my Instagram page. 🙂
P.S. I have created a new site page for all my resin pictures that I have uploaded so far, and you can access it with this link: https://baileymchatton.com/pictures-of-everything/resin-pictures/
I will be updating it periodically whenever I upload more pictures. If any of you wanted to go check it out, I would really appreciate it.

P.P.P.S. If you would like a custom ashtray, the general pricing for just color and glitter in my medium to small molds would be $15 locally in Vegas, and $20 if I am shipping it to you. This would be $5 extra if I am using a larger mold, since it takes more resin to make. The general pricing for color, glitter, and flowers or a picture or whatever else you want me to put in it would be $20 locally in Vegas, and $25 if I am shipping it to you. If you would like me to add a magnet in the bottom or the sides, that would be $5 extra. If you wanted something that had more stuff than this, the pricing varies.

Thats awesome the colors are really pretty and the layers of flowers inside adds a lot to the ashtray. I cant wait to see what other dope ones you make.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I also really like the colors and want to experiment more with layers of completely different colors, and also trying to get the colors exactly the same in each layer. I think both will be challenging but worth it!

Just curious… do resin ashtrays hold up to someone putting out a cigarette in them? Also, do you have a mold for a resin bowl? Some people might choose that over an ashtray.

Yes they do hold up to high temperatures! It does take about 2 weeks for the resin to “heat cure,” but it is definitely heat resistant. I have bought a few new molds and have not bought a bowl mold specifically but I am definitely interested in that in the near future! I have a mold that is a coffin container and a mold that is a stackable jewelry holder, which could be used as bowls. I agree, not all people like ashtrays or would use one, so that is why I bought so many more molds 🙂 thank you so much for your comment!
