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.
