So this is the real reason i did a skull yesterday, I'd already done 'candle' last year (𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒆-𝒖𝒍) and i had the time to re-do it ina more seasonally appropriate way, Plus I know WAY more manx than back in December, (Thank you @culturevannin)so i managed to string a simple phrase together cainleyn er claigin should mean 'candles on (a) skull' (I hope!) #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #skull #candle #hoptunaa #halloween #cainle #cainleyn #claigin https://www.instagram.com/p/CVFGz85spTA/?utm_medium=tumblr

In the spirit of Hop-tu-naa, I've carved my turnip. #digitsintact #carvingaturnipainteasy #hoptunaa

I skipped todays prompt, but i did something equally seasonal. claigin means skull or cranium, or the bowl of a pipe... #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #skull #skeleton #claigin #bollag #halloween #hoptunaa (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVDD9Kyoyqz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Quick one this morning - todays word prompt is 'ghost'. There seems to be a lot of different words for ghost in Manx Gaelic, just as there are in English. Scaan (𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑛) seemed the most appropriate. #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #hoptunaa #halloween #samhain #scaan #spyrryd #ghostkid (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUzGOJ2IOxl/?utm_medium=tumblr

So here was the final turnip in its dark glory. My first time carving a moot, luckily my experience cutting reliefs for print aided somewhat in the design and the coring out. Pumpkins definitely are easier, but less fun! Can't wait to try something more intricate next year. Also have to keep an eye out for the Swedes with the stalk still attached! Wasnt as beautiful as I'd hoped, but had swede and carrot mash for dinner, so can't complain too much. #htnturnip #turniplantern #moot #hoptunaa https://www.instagram.com/p/BppAvEGlteM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3tyzbp1qf50o

The star of the show (lit turnip lantern) View the stories for a before and after of this guy as he's a rework from a few years ago to make him more swedey. #hoptunaa #halloween #samhain #turnip #moot #swede #lantern #illustration #illustrator #design #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx #manxlanguage (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHAPC8AJIR_/?igshid=16tx9ck5ql6h7

Todays prompt is beetle - caraig. This seasonally coloured little fella, is also seasonal in its nature. Caraigh oanluckee translates as 'burial/funeral beetle'. It can seek out a corpse from miles away and then proceeds in burying it, and making a home in it for its mate and family. Probably best to wash your hands if you ever come across one... #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #beetle #caraig #sextonbeetle #caraigoanluckee #burialbeetle #blackandorange #halloween #hoptunaa (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU_-1WqojFR/?utm_medium=tumblr
