Announcement *All orders are now shipped through FedEx or DHL (4 days to one week service)

Most masks are not ready to ship. In stock mean "available to order"..Generally I take 4-6 days to sculpt, paint and finish the mask order. Please add the date of your show, event, photo shoot, etc. in the "note to seller" section when you purchase

All masks can be made in an adult or child size.

For custom listings, please purchase "order a custom mask" and then pm me about what you'd like to do. I do not create masks without first purchasing the custom order listing.

I hand sculpt each mask (no molds) so there is always some variation from the sample mask shown in each listing. Some masks however are one of a kind, so the photo you see is of the mask you'd buy. One of a kind masks are indicated in the listing.

Item was damaged during shipment.

Carolyn responded on Apr 2, 2024

I have reviewed my messages and this customer did not reach out to me to tell me this. I usually replace or refund all damaged masks.

The mask is absolutely amazing, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. Carolyn was also very kind and responsive to all my messages and helped expedite the shipping since I needed it quickly. I will be ordering again!

I wanted to make a mask for an unusual cosplay but didn't think I could fit one over my glasses (I can't wear contacts). Carolyn blew my mind with this commission. Not only did she make it to my specifications, ensuring it would fit over my head, face and glasses, but it looks amazing as well. So happy with my order. Great mask!

2 custom deer masks

From set and prop design to masks on etsy

For years in NY and San Diego and even in Argentina, I'd worked on and off designing sets and props for theater shows. Then we moved here, to Phoenix, Arizona and I found myself creating sculptures for festivals and events. I had an exhibit up at a local gallery in downtown Phoenix last summer for 3 months and almost all my work sold out of the gallery. It was a great experience, and I decided I wanted to sell my art for more than just 3 months, I wanted to sell all the time.

I decided to sell online, but my sculptures were large. Some are bigger than me!I needed to think smaller for a mail order business. I bought a face mold and started experimenting with masks. Now I create masks of all kinds. So far I've made masks for photo shoots in New York, Hong Kong and London, for TV shows like Crazy Ex Girlfriend, and Sean Penn's show on hulu, for films and music videos. For theater productions like The Lion King and a ballet production of Coraline in London. It's been quite a ride.
