I got the idea for him back in the spring when I was looking at some very knobbly trees in Petworth Park.
It made me think of a creature that was faintly frog-like with bulgy eyes and big, round haunches. I drew a quick sketch and added in horns since they seemed to fit. Then I got busy making other things and didn't think any more about it.
Recently I started to make another creature using the green mohair but the shape was wrong. I looked at what I'd done and realised it would make the perfect body for my Yubbla. I found the old sketch and even though I tried out a few different ideas, it ended up looking pretty similar, although I did add a tail to make it less froggy. When it was finished I found it very endearing. There's something about the positioning of the eyes that means they seem to foloowing you around, but in a puppy way, not a creepy way.
This Yubbla is now up for sale in my Etsy shop.

You have such a unique style. I'm now a big fan! :o) Love your work! All of your creatures seem like they'd have very interesting lives in childrens books. Have you considered getting them professionally photographed in a story line?
Thank you! That's a cool idea - I have sold most of them, but maybe I should come up with a story and create the creatures to go with it.
