One of my favorite “DIY” sites, Instructables, had this creative idea posted for repurposing old CDs by Swapnal entitled “CD Art“.
I love the mixed use of symmetry and asymmetry in her design. On the post, she presents other examples to give us plenty of ideas from which to be inspired.
I’m intrigued by this project especially since I own lots of old CDs and DVDs that could use some better purpose than taking up valuable real estate in my home…they instead could be adorning my walls.
The process: essentially you paint the CD black and then scrape away the design so that the shiny part shows through…like reverse painting.
Time to pull out those old CDs…
Happy Coloring!

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
