Here is a link to the blog Mar de Sonhos, a blog that is in English and Portuguese that features this interesting recycled cd mandala. I can tell you how cool it is that crafts don’t have a language barrier!

Blind and texture embossing techniques
If you are a fan of adding subtle elements to your art this idea for embossing shapes and textures could be just the technique you will want to try. I haven’t had much success in the past but the tips included in the post over at The Curious Printmaker on how to blind emboss just might turn that around.
wow perfect cd’s mandala … wow .. great idea
Very clever 🙂
What fun! I’d been saving my CDs as scarecrows for the garden but this would be great for the children to do…it could be Garden Art and kill two birds with one stone, sorry CD ha! ha!
What a great idea. I love this mandala, it looks great and I never would have clicked that it was CD’s unless I had read it!
Do you have directions of how you did this? how are they held together, especially the middle one? Are those center designs made of rolled up magazines? Thanks!
I think your recycled CD mandala is amazing. I would like to include it in a book I am writing about mandalas, which will be published July 2012 by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. I am an art therapist at The University Medical Center at Princeton, Princeton, NJ. Would you consider giving me permission to include the photo and a description (you would provide) of how to create it? You would, of course, be referenced.
Thank you-
