Your choice. Surprise me.

FireSignFemme · 06-02-2016, 10:53 PM

I'm with Gemme on this - either or. If making sun catchers, feeling inspired, you find yourself getting into a zone and want to make more I'll take one of those. Or if you're working on pendants feeling really happy, all tranquil/Zen doing that, no sense shifting gears I'd be happy with a pendent as well.

candy_coated_bitch · 06-04-2016, 02:29 PM

Ok. New plan. Since the greatest number of people have stated either they would prefer a sun catcher or have no preference in just going to make life easier on myself and make all sun catchers!!! Thanks to everyone who answered.

Hey Everyone!!!
Just checking in to see how the projects are coming along? Have you started? Are you still thinking of what direction to go? Need more ideas?

Extra little recycling tidbit.. for any of those people who paint, do you ever buy those really expensive gold foil? If you are peeling the silver off the cd's to use them.. save your self some $$ and save some flecks of silver.. just a thought...

4 weeks till last day of mailing!!

Okay, I've had some delays, but it finally came to me what I'm going to do with recycled DVDs! It came to me all at once last night when I was trying to fall asleep. It's a medium I've worked with before, so no learning curve there. And it will be lots of fun to do! And I think everyone will like them - I hope. I picked out my supplies online and I'm going to pick them up tomorrow evening!

I'm not saying what they are, but I will tell you I'm using the color palette for Fall 2016 fashion colors.

Breathless · 06-23-2016, 07:27 PM

Well Ms. Georgia, Ma'am, You have peaked my curiosities! Whatever you have in mind, I am quite sure will be euphoric, and as delightful as yourself
*grinzzz*

My first CDs did NOT go according to plan and i am panicking. I can't afford to buy more CDs and I'm panicking. Any ideas? I might have to use half CDs for whatever I do but I'm clueless now. Help!

Breathless · 06-25-2016, 01:11 PM

Don't panic ;-) what were you trying to do and what happened?
I was trying to make mosaic tiles and burned holes through my first set .. It was stinky

I was trying to melt them and they did not melt well. My original idea definitely won't work. I can tell you that after two tries.

Sounds like the same problem I had. So with the exception of burnt to a crisp .. And maybe even then, I say smash it. Do you have resin or clay? Some sort of binding? Smash the glass like pieces and reform maybe ? Or even affix the pieces to something, even firm paper or bottle caps? If you need more ideas let me know ;-) this is not meant to be a costly project so please don't feel you need to purchase anything extra to do this. The smallest fragment of the cd in each project is the only requirement.

I will probably end up smashing them. Not sure what I will do with the pieces. I dont have clay but I might have an idea....maybe. Thanks for the support!

If burning them is off the table now, consider painting them. Or shaping the shards into something close to what you had in mind. It's tedious but can be done with fire, something to reshape them, tweezers and a lot of time on your hands.

I think I will end up playing to my strengths and paint and/or collage them.
