Todays word is earth, and im sure it's meant in a more elemental manner but this is a more interesting image than what I could have come up with for thalloo... Cruinney (𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒊𝒏-𝒚𝒖𝒉) is earth in the sense of the globe, so from what i can tell it also means a sphere, but also the world/universe. #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #earth #planet #cruinney #thesolarsystem #yncorysnygreiney (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVMwlQJIgwZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Todays prompt is spider - doo-oallee (𝒅𝒐𝒐 𝒂𝒓-𝒍𝒆𝒆) *edit sounds more like or-lee or more specifically oar-lee? Hard to get across without using linguistic alphabet that most of us can't read.) #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #doooallee #spider #gardenspider #nature (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVKMB2noVMw/?utm_medium=tumblr

This one took far too long to do. Fiddly! Spider webb is eggey (𝒆𝒈𝒈-𝒖𝒉) in Manx, but is usually suffixed by tomorrows word... #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #eggey #spiderweb #doooallee (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVIKdldIo7n/?utm_medium=tumblr

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

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

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

Todays prompt is herbs - lus or lussyn for plural, kind of just means plants as well. #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU9SH09MBjj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Todays word is Pumpkin - I've gone for Londeyr pumpkin (𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑑-𝐷𝐴𝐼𝑅 𝑃𝑈𝑀-𝑘𝑖𝑛) - Pumpkin Lantern. #gaelg #monsterfuldoodles @monsterfulillustrations #manxlanguage #gaelic #isleofman #drawingchallenge #drawingchallenge2021 #octoberdrawingchallenge #drawingprompt #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #disoverunder1k #collage #papercut #pumpkin #londeyr #londeyrpumkin #pumkin #lantern #jackolantern #halloween https://www.instagram.com/p/CU60-eeIZmh/?utm_medium=tumblr
