Answer 1

If you want to use CD's in particular for your "junk art" or "mixed media collages and sculptures, " you might want to check out these pages at my site:

(... click on CD's, under "Plastics"...)

http://glassattic.com/polymer/onlay.htm
(... click on CD SHARDS...)

If you want to make things from aluminum cans though, or from other "found" media, check some of the sites in this google result:

Answer 2

That thing is made from old cans, easier to manipulate.

Start with cutting old CDs and see what you can puzzle out of the parts you get.
If you find a way to get perfect circles you may be able to build a car, cart or bike.
If you can not cut perfect circles, go bigger or use mini CDs for wheels.

There are also a lot of crafts on-line that use complete CDs, like as back drop for cards, or where a disk with a hole is needed.
