I really hear you about your discontent and stress. I feel many of the same things -- ovewhelmed by my art/job and avoiding it, longing to escape into physical activity, watching myself grow old, and the rest. I don't feel them all the time, but when they come? Wow, it sucks. One thing that gets me out of these funks to finishing a project. Not sure if it's the same for you, because it takes me weeks or years to finish a project, so it doesn't happen as often as for you. I do get interested in doing other stuff and then forget to be distressed.
Would you consider doing a new pattern you could send to them? It could be a variant of a popular mask, or something unique.
"My work is copyright and so cannot legally be reproduced in any fashion, but if you're interested in creating a mask of your own, here's a pattern I have designed just for new mask-makers. By using this pattern, you agree that this mask is for your own use or to give as a gift; and you agree not to sell the mask, or to give it to anyone else with the intention that they sell it."
Unless you're Disney, or have a lot of patience to hunt down infringement and a brother-in-law who's a lawyer, copyright is really difficult to protect. There are .pdfs of my books out there that neither I nor my publisher have anything to do with. It is illegal, unethical, and inconsiderate to the creator.
