About Me

Hello, I'm MoggyMade, a.k.a. Penny. 

I've always loved making things. 

Today I create playful cat-themed seamless patterns in Procreate on my iPad, but my creativity doesn't stop there. I also love sketching by hand, experimenting with traditional drawing techniqes, knitting little animals and toys, and trying new creative hobbies whenever inspiration strikes. 

This website is my creative home - a place where I can share everything I'm learning along the way.

My Creative Journey

I'm not a professionally trained artist, I'm learning... and that's exactly why I wanted to start documenting my journey. Every sketch teaches me something new. Some days everything works, and other days I wonder what happened! I hope sharing both sides encourages other people who are learning too. 

And, it's never too late... I didn't start on this drawing journey until in my mid-50's!

Another Creative Passion: Writing

While many people know me through my cat-themed patterns and illustrations, storytelling has been part of my creative life for many years. I also write novels under my pen name, Penny Canvin, where I get to explore characters and imaginary worlds in a completely different way. 

Although my writing lives on its own website, it's another part of who I am creatively. If  you're curious, you're very welcome to visit my author site and discover my books.
