Heres a little something different I did awhile back. Its not a disc, but it is a dye.
Its a drum head on a djembe I had hanging around the house. Used an acetone/Rit/dish soap mix applied the red first then mix in a lil black to get the marble!

interesting...and cool

Take the disc to the darkest spot of your house -- a closet, basement, garage, etc. Remove as much light pollution as possible.
Set the exposure time on your camera to a few seconds, adjust as necessary. You will need to keep the camera completely still, so use a tripod if you have one, and delay the start of the picture for a couple seconds AFTER you hit the button(a la if you were taking a picture you wanted to be in). That way the camera won't move at all.
Charge the disc up as much as possible right before taking the picture, and just mess with the exposure times, light settings, etc.

:\ pretty sure my blackberry won't do all that and i don't have my camera from photography class in high school anymore

left it in the dye too long and got some "smear" bleeding but it kinda works with the pink
