Time to vote for April Image of the Month (IotM). All MobiTog members are eligible to vote. Voting ends May 7.
Pssst... the secret is in collecting wacky presets from the online aremaC library. Unfortunately, you can’t tell much about the presets from the online descriptions. You just have to try them and see. Also, watch out for the occasional low resolution preset.Who’d’ve thought rolls of tape could look so interesting.
Your artistic adventures in aremaC have inspired me to make a mental note to open that app some time soon. I’ve had it some five years . . .
Not sure if this fits here, but I accidentally took a photo of the cover on my iPhone 5c and it came out like this.

In itself, the original image is genuinely abstract. I vote for this one!This was when I stopped messing with it. I used snapseed, pixlr, picsart and toolwiz in what must have been some sort of order.

And I say I stopped messing but then I shoved it through fragment.

Thank you. For reference, here's my processed version of that image. This is where I'd normally stop if I wasnt appstracting.In itself, the original image is genuinely abstract. I vote for this one!
Course it fits! Ordinary -> abstract Very nice abstract, too.
I’ve been wondering where you are. Has Miss Joana decided to become a normal baby and keep you running around in circles?
Not yet! I went back to work (this was the third week), and am trying to get used to the new multitasking. First week I cried heaps and this week I added another day, so my mind has been a bit full. But my heart is still here with you guys!
I felt a familiar ache when I read this — and my youngest just turned 40
Wow, thank you Jilly! Chuffed! Well done, Brian. Ok, let me see if I can come up with a theme...Isn’t this fun! Thank you all for embracing the theme - I tried to make something beautiful out of my stove-top kettle and failed miserably, so I’m in awe of the wonderful images you’ve all made. But, this is a challenge so there has to be a winner. That winner is... ImageArt Ann with Reality Exists in the Human Mind.

You’ve taken something truly commonplace (what home doesn’t have remote controls now - when I think back to when I was younger ...) and made it abstract and beautiful. Love the colours and the addition of the ants. Well done Ann.
Coming in Second is Starzee Star with My Ironing Board.

Another item that I thought was ubiquitous, but after much discussion, it turns out not to be quite so commonplace as I thought. And who would have thought that this started out as a photograph of part of an ironing board? It’s got so much movement - it could almost be a head and shoulders of something other-worldly. Great colours too.
And finally, third place goes to FundyBrian Brian with his re-formation of a photo of a CD. It won’t be long now before people are looking at them and saying “Do you remember when ...”.

Another one where I’d never have guessed what the original subject was. To me, this looks so like the wings of a dragonfly over a pond. The colours really appeal to me too. Lovely.
Thank you again - I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking at all of the wonderful abstracts you’ve produced.
I liked the abstract, but after seeing the original, I love it!The original was kind of abstract; I just gussied it up in iColorama

Thanks for my second! Congrats to Ann and Brian. What an amazing challenge! I loved seeing the transformations.
Just an aside for anyone who doesn’t own an ironing board, I can be used for a make shift bar in an emergency. Just throw a table cloth over it. Or a sheet, but iron it first!

Here it looks like a cave painting of a horse like creature.Thank you. For reference, here's my processed version of that image. This is where I'd normally stop if I wasnt appstracting.

Dito.

I love dual purpose items... that’s a great idea!!Just an aside for anyone who doesn’t own an ironing board, I can be used for a make shift bar in an emergency. Just throw a table cloth over it. Or a sheet, but iron it first!
Congrats to ImageArt , Starzee and FundyBrian
Loved those, esp. Ann's from the start. Maybe the colour, but I think it was more the spaceship like shape.
And now I realise I didn't make it again. Well, maybe #5 will again be one to participate.

Yes, Gouvy - I certainly hope so. An abstract thread without GroovyGouvy images is like a . . . like a . . . Well it’s no good. So I’ll be expecting the pleasure of your presence in #5
