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!

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find
Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.
This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore. It reminds me of the kind of art I used to make as a kid—finding bits and bobs around the house and combining them into something that just worked. Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.
What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.
Why we love it:
Made from recycled materials
Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care
A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall
If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
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-
