Announcement    Please order soon if you want a mask for Halloween. Thank you!
My name is Judith Rauchfuss and I create unique and comfortable masquerade masks. Please take a look at what masquerade ball mask beauties I have created for my Etsy customers.

I recently began adding my artwork in the form of greeting cards to my listings. I have painted for years and finally decided to show what has been in the works all my life. I love to paint magical creatures with quirky stories to go with them. I hope you enjoy them.

I have been creating masquerade masks and since 1986 when I started Leopard's Leap, LLC. I began locally, then traveled nationally until I got a call from Cirque du Soleil. For the last 17 years I have created 58 masquerade mask designs for their retail masquerade mask market. Working with them has been a tremendous growing experience.

Seven years ago I went to Venice for Carnival Masquerade and was approach by Antonia Sautter who runs the Doge's Masquerade Ball. She has me create wonderful masquerade masks for her every year now. The Doge's Masquerade Mask Ball is a once in a lifetime experience and you must go.

In Summer of 2013 I created a large order of masquerade masks for a private party in Venice, Italy by Dolce & Gabbana.

I spent 2014 developing my Etsy site and learning the ropes. It has changed my life and I am excited about being a global business.

Please view leopardsleap.com for my gallery of past works.

Happy Masquerade Masking!

About leopardsleap

Sales 854
On Etsy since 2012
  • Judith at work in her studio.
  • My dye location. Messy but essentially so. I hand made the tile around the sinks.
  • My work table where I spend most of my time assembling masks. From here I have a great view of the mountains.
  • One of my favorite models completely decked out for a party.
  • We are surrounded by ravens here so we celebrate them in art.

Mask Maker Extraordinaire

One of the reasons Cirque du Soleil wanted my creations for their market was because I could create a line of masks that were similar , but actually magically unique. The dye process and the paint process allows me to cover and paint each mask with a different mix of the same colors. The shape, size and design are not altered. Each mask is unique and hand made just for you. My masks are not factory produced, but lovingly and artistically hand made.
I started making masks in the 80's when I was dancing and needed a mask to complete my costume. I was unable to find a mask that was comfortable and would stay on my face. So I decided to created my own and everyone loved it. Since then I have danced in my masks at Carnivale in Venice, Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Fantasy Fest in Key West. All in comfort and style.
