We are now selling the recent illustrations on society6 https://society6.com/babbangaelg Mainly as kids shirts have been requested and they have a new system where you can pick whether the design is printed on front, back or pockets. Which is neat.

Keyll (𝑘𝑎𝑦𝑙) is the word for a wooded place, plantation or forest, it is some times pluralised like with 'woods' to become keylljyn. (𝑘𝑎𝑦𝑙-𝑖ℎ-𝑗𝑖𝑛?)

Mushroom there just to make it obviously woods not just trees

Double word day! (Swipe to see the other one) All will become apparent - but thankfully, we're not going night fishing... Londeyr (lon-DAIR) is a lantern. Jeebin (Jee-bin) is a net, coincidentally the name for the Manx language network... And to confuse things, #jeebin is inundated with selfies of a K-pop star.

Jackdaw. Or in this instance more like jack-dough. No pronunciation for this one I'm afraid. But I can tell you it's not hw-an. It's definitely jew-an. Juan is John/Jack in Manx. #manxjuan #jackdaw #corvid #bird #illustration #illustrator #design #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkJhOKp5yw/?igshid=5jurb173tpug

Still had the feather vibe from 'Clooie' So had to do this one. Calmane (Kal-MAAN*) Was day dreaming about a Manx birds tea towel, then I realised I'd only done 8! Best get going. *prouncination is a guess based on the manx word for mushroom - shalmane (Shal-MAAN) #illustration #illustrator #design #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx #pigeon #rockpigeon (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGURiBAJKRu/?igshid=1eznowkktehkt

Haven't entered a @spoonflower competition in a while! And when the prompt is 'ABC Tea towel' well... it'd be rude not to? Of course it's in #ManxGaelic, similar to the book but with a few of the newer words to change things up. Let me know what you think in the comments below! And don't forget to check out the rest of the entries , you can also vote if you fancy 😉 https://www.spoonflower.com/design-challenge/abcs-of-tea-towel or just search "spoonflower abc tea towel competition" #learnmanx #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx #illustration #illustrator #design #competition #teatowel #teatowels #vote (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFyo58EpQgB/?igshid=10zsv4dd653jr

FINALLY SOME MANX STICKERS I've been allowed to add stickers to the search here on IG and other platforms powered by giphy. I've only added a handful at the moment mainly Manx Gaelic language ones and a few animated illustrations from Christmas. Find them by searching various things like #gaelg #isleofman #manx and #crumpetsandcrabsticks for the full collection. I use the handle #babbangaelg (means Manx Gaelic baby/doll) for the paper cut illustrations. More will be added and I'll post about them in stories when they're available. Looking forward to filling some frustrating gaps for social media users on island! Feel free to make suggestions below! #stickers #stickerdesigner #gifanimation #gifart (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNmuI6npym9/?igshid=o74jzydmgr9m

Gorse, furse, whin, tasty yellow... there are more names for this plant than there are thorns on the average branch. They are simply known as 'spikey spikey' to our 2 year old. Comment below what it's known as in your household! #babbangaelg #illustration #papercut #collage #texture #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #manxlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #flashcard #isleofman #manx #yellow #flower #european #gorse #ulex https://www.instagram.com/p/CHfbFI5AqSY/?igshid=1j9fc19eibqgl

Lus ny Minnagh (and/or Lus y vinnagh?) meaning plant of the guts. Which is Yindyssagh!(wonderful) if you think back to the medicinal uses for the dandelion being predominantly of detoxifying the liver, kidneys etc. Thanks to @wildflowersiom for the translation - a long list of the common, latin and manx names for plants can be found on their website - link in their bio. #babbangaelg #illustration #papercut #collage #texture #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #manxlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #flashcard #isleofman #manx #dandelion #yellow #flower #medicinalplants #weeds #gardening https://www.instagram.com/p/CHabVStoAtg/?igshid=1ch0bc4dv88cl

We've been collecting cughlin (KUKH-lin) to try and propogate at home. Wish us luck! I'll post progress pictures in stories - if we have any! #pinecone #manxglens #manxplantations #pine #tree #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #manxlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHM0Eurs8gk/?igshid=18rg449uvzdqe

Which melon is the meloniest of melons? To our household when you say melon you mean honeydew. This one can also be called 'mellyn millish' meaning sweet melon. Which is the meloniest of melons for your household? let me know in the comments and maybe we'll add it to the vocabulary. #fruit #yellow #melon #mellyn #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #manxlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx Testing crossposting with IG so excuse the tags but hoping this will save me some time, less time posting to social media is more time spent with Evelyn... and / or designing more word cards :) (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLaNzZh-2s/?igshid=138375zuardx8

Queenies. From what I gather mynroagan is literally 'small scallop' I presume so as not to confuse it with the king scallops which are just called Roagan. Queenies are in my experience about the size of a £2 coin. And are delicious if you like the taste of crabsticks... And I think we know where I stand in that debate. Should have seen my face when our ol'Howard mentioned them in the latest CV briefing. He's been reading through my WhatsApps I'm sure of it. #scallop #queenie #seafood #illustration #illustrator #design #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHF0x4CJOZH/?igshid=1a0j8tnqtybf7

It's #chalkandcheesechallenge day and this week's word is 'hamster' swipe across to see @monsterfulillustrations version. Pronounced PUZZ-ag, this creatures name appears to come from a shortened version of Roddan-puissag meaning chubby longtail. Drinking more and more hot drinks now! Mines a mint tea 🍵 if you're sticking the kettle on. #hamster #cute #rodent #pet #chubby #manxlanguage #illustration #illustrator #design #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHC0JhzJVH9/?igshid=1dvbq7vty16c4
