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!

A fond farewell from one of my favorite things onto full time art world making
I have had the pleasure of being the Recycled Editor at Craft Gossip for over 15 years. I can’t think of a better job than to immerse myself in a community of creatives that focus on sharing their eco-creations with others. I have learned so much and I hope all of you readers have as well. I want to thank the amazing team that has given me this opportunity and I wish them all the success in the world as they continue to produce great content here that educates and inspires creativity as I feel “making” is vital to heath and well being.
I will still be sharing my recycled creations that are primarily art on my personal social media – please feel free to follow me in Instagram @StefanieLGirard and on Facebook Stefanie Girard if you want to keep up with me 🙂
This is my latest art installation “Daily Practice, The Power of Creativity, (Zen and the Art of grenade making)” . This piece consisting of 365 1/4 porcelain grenades that took 5 years to make. It was given an award at the 2025 art show produced by The Fine Art Federation.
It is simply a magical thing to transform one thing into another in an unexpected way.
Thank you Craft Gossip!
Keep creating with recycled things everyone.
Happy Earth Day….every day 🙂
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-
Susan Buchalter
