To celebrate this year\u2019s Shwmae Su\u2019mae day on the 15th<\/sup> of October, the digital illustration company Mwydro will undertake a live Welsh GIF Designing Marathon on her Instagram channel. <\/strong>The event will provide a unique opportunity for the public to select which Welsh words and phrases they\u2019d like to see in GIF form on social media, and see the design be made on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are keen users of social media it\u2019s possible you\u2019re already familiar with the work of the illustrator Sioned Young, who runs Mwydro from her home in Caernarfon. Mwydro is the creator of over 250 Welsh language GIFs available for all to use for free on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By today, Mwydro\u2019s selection of Welsh language GIFs vary from days of the week to popular phrases and proverbs have received over 35 million views<\/strong>. And it\u2019s thanks to the help of her followers that the collection of GIFs illustrated by Sioned Young has developed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI taught myself how to design GIFs a year ago, after having some trouble finding suitable Welsh language GIFs for me to use on my Instagram Stories,\u201d<\/em> says Sioned, \u201cOnce I shared my initial designs, I started receiving lots of requests for further Welsh language words and phrases people would like to see in GIF form.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shwmae Su’mae Day<\/a>, held annually on October 15th, encourages everyone to give Welsh a go by starting greeting everyone with a ‘Shwmae’ or ‘Su’mae’. To celebrate, the organisers, Mudiadau Dathlu’r Gymraeg, encourage everyone to attend one of the Shwmae Sumae events to have a taste of using Welsh socially in their area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad to be able to host an event like this as part of the Shwmae Su\u2019mae Day celebrations this year.\u201d says Sioned, \u201cOriginally I had though the only purpose for GIFs was to have fun, but I soon discovered the value of GIFs in celebrating and promoting the Welsh language, and in supporting and encouraging people to introduce some Welsh into their social media posts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will take place live on Mwydro\u2019s Instagram <\/a>channel on Friday the 15th<\/sup> of October between 8-9pm, with a warm welcome for anyone to join.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
