felicia nilson’s creatures made of clay
Brown bear bowl : Grumpy Bear by MaidOfClay @ Etsy.
Felicia Nilson had sent me a very nice message through the contact page just after my post 100 great artists @ etsy you might want to visit…. She wanted to bring to my attention as she wrote it three other artists I might enjoy. And although two of these artists were quite interesting, I was actually much more attracted by Felicia’s “MaidOfClay” creatures and even fell deeply for a couple of them !
At the time, the Grumpy Bear above had not yet been sold and it was the first item I really noticed in her shop. I just love this bear ! It reminds me of that rabbit with an “attitude” I have written about here and there I realize I might particularly be fond of creatures with an “attitude” even though there’s also this extremely cute bear that only sold recently that I have been watching regularly ever so often ! Here it is :
How cute is that ? Can you resist that face ? And notice the “little white toenails” ? Aren’t they just great ?
Now here’s what Felicia writes about these hand sculpted ceramic bears :
The thing I love most about the bear bowls (…)
is the little white toenails – don’t ask me why :-)
Well, those bears with their little white toenails are terrific all right but I think some of MaidOfClay’s other sculptures are quite amazing too like this Goth Kitty Girl :
Goth Kitty Girl – Miniature hand sculpted porcelain bust.
Felicia Nilson deals with many different styles and some are not exactly to my taste but you should know that she has a lot of “cat related” stuff and – once again – I like the sculptures best. She is a member of the Etsy Mud Team.

Felicia is amazing, inspiring, outstanding!!! I had the priviledge of being her first Esty customer, and we formed a bond quickly due to our shared love of clay and of critters, especially cats :D.
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to become aquainted with Felicia—and to count this wonderful artist as my muddy buddy—Congrats Felicia :D!
Wow, those pieces are fantastic! That grumpy bear is too cute.
Well, I’m the French lucky-happy owner of the Kitty Girl shown above (which now lives in Paris :-) and I can tell this sculpture is an enjoyment : design, details,… Wonderful !
Felicia Nilson’s artistic universe is stunning : I recommend browsing all her shop items (including the sold ones : http://www.etsy.com/shop_sold.php?user_id=5333215) to get a full vision of her talent, inspiration and technique.
Felicia Nilson is a true artist. Take a look and feel instantly the beauty of her work. Believe me, you’ll desire soon a piece of her gorgeous art :-)

I am such a fan of Felicia’s work, and now so is my Mom who just loves her Mommy’s Day kitty from Felicia’s talented fingers! (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=8491754). Her talent and versatility is really astounding, and I just feel honored to call her colleague via her other team at Etsy! (California Crafter’s Club of Etsy)

Felicia’s work is so unique and whimsical! I especially love her pendant necklaces.
Wonderful work! Well executed and with lots of character!
I really love Felicia’s work. The cat bowls are so sensitive and I love her face pendants. Her arts and crafts vases are also a favorite.
Just a quick note to thank all of you for your wonderful comments and especially to Anne for the lovely feature. Thanks so much!
MaidofClay’s work is phenomenal! I love to study all of her pieces. Each of her creations has a wonderful story to tell. I look forward to having a MaidofClay creation one day!
I love MaidofClay’s work. It is so original adn sometimes mezmerizing. I agree, the bear is tooooo cute! Who would of thought to paint the toenails! Thank you so much for the fabulous article on MOC.
Love the bear bowl! What a creative idea!
I so hope she’ll make some more of those bear bowls…
Thank you for featuring Maidofclay. She truly is one of my favorite artist. I just fell in love with her cats sculptures but her flower vases are exquisite. She is truly an ordinal. A true artist that you can actually see the love and joy she puts in every art piece she makes. I keep watching all the new item come and quickly go just as soon as she posts it. I believe she in one to keep our eye on. Our little best kept secret is getting out. Congratulations Maidofclay…… a true thing of beauty.
