About this Product
“Who Are You? Who, Who? in Pastel”
This dramatic masquerade mask was inspired by the Great Horned Owls found soaring in the Sonoran Desert and around my home in Why, AZ. Owls are graceful and beautiful creatures! The Great Horned Owl is adorned with a vista of a desert in pastel shades and decorated with creatures of the night and Queen of the Night flowers. The “Who Are You? Who, Who? Pastel” mask would be a dramatic display on a wall or on a shelf, as well as the perfect accessory for Halloween, a masquerade ball, a renaissance fair, or any costumed convention!
Each mask is made individually with some variations on the colors. This listing is for the mask shown in the pictures.
This design can be customized with changes in the colors, please send me a message to let me know your ideas!
The dimensions are approximately:
17 inches wide wingtip-to-wingtip
8.25 inches wide and 4 inches high for the face piece
6 inches high from the bottom of the tail to the top of the head tufts.
The mask only weighs 2 ounces (the shipping weight includes the box and packing materials).
I do my best to keep the pictures accurate, but the colors may not be exactly as shown on the webpage.
All items are made in my home, which is smoke-free and dog-friendly.

Meet the Maker
Thank you for visiting my shop. I’m Jane Madsen and I live in beautiful Why, AZ, a very small town in southern Arizona in the Sonoran Desert. I’ve always loved drawing animals, and I discovered the art of creating machine embroidery designs during the pandemic. For me, it is the perfect intersection of art, sewing and computer skills. I tried to think of an idea for a new product line that would be fun, unique, and artistic, and decided to create a series of masks. Masquerade style masks can be used for many events and parties and can also be displayed as an artistic accent. The animals and cacti of the Sonoran Desert are my inspiration for masks that are unlike any other.
I work from home in my little patch of desert, surrounded by saguaros, barrel cactus and cholla cactus. I often see roadrunners, quails, red tailed hawks, turkey vultures, lizards, cottontail bunnies and jackrabbits, along with the occasional rattlesnake. The desert is beautiful to look at and is delicate and dangerous at the same time. My home is smoke-free and dog-friendly.
How it’s Made
This mask is machine embroidered from a design that I created. The embroidered pieces are then machine sewn and hand stitched to complete it. The ribbons have a drawstring type catch to make it easy to put on and remove. The mask is lined with a soft and lightweight fabric.
The initial digital design process takes quite some time, with many tests on the stitches, the color combinations and the structure of the masks. Once the design is finalized, stitching out the masquerade masks on the embroidery machine will take several hours, then the components are put together with a combination of a sewing machine and hand stitching.
