    I don’t understand how anyone could give Miss Helen a thumbs down. A true southern belle. Gentle and kind. Hard working and willing to share her gifts with whoever may need them. Does beautiful work. And if there’s a “lull” in the video we get the lovely sound of sweet singing birds. This is peace at its best. Awesome.

    Dear Helen, you have given me so much inspiration. I have worked in the arts my entire career and have just retired at 57. I was very worried that I would not be to continue working on large projects as I am getting older …I now watch you every morning as you give me so much joy and inspiration… I hope to be just like you …always making, always discovering.
    Love Amanda

    I fell in love with her, when she said "this beautiful day the Lord has made...," We need more content from our elders, so that knowledge is passed on. I picked up important details for my project because she didn't ff or rush through her process. Thank you Ms. @helen wyatt.

      Same here she is amazing, I wish these young children these days would value EVERYTHING our elders passed on , my grandparents are gone and missed dearly but I know the stuff they taught me was out of love. Folks aren't going to steady try to steer ya wrong they lived through this all, they pass it on out of love. I try to tell my children that often. Also these projects she's teaching could bring extra money in incase it's ever needed. You have a blessed day too M.Holiday. from Michigan

I am substituting battle axe for the real word I use. She never showed fear of anything. Not a skunk in the chicken house or even a violent human. She was the best mom ever. Today is mother's day 2021 and she is so on my mind. We lost her in 1990. My daughter reminds me so much of my mom. Shows no fear. 5' nothin and not afraid of an attacking pit bull or a 6'5" man trying to force his way into our house. Those men are afraid of her!!!!

God sure blessed you with a talent to work with cement the way you do. I'm in Calif and don't have my granny anymore so I really do enjoy watching your videos. It's so sad the way you suffered with covid but the good Lord brought you thru it. I hope you don't have too many problems in the future because of covid. I am 64 and I live with my 91 year old mother. I showed her one of your videos over a year ago and she really enjoyed it. It's nice to have such an uplifting video like you make when I get down and have a bad day. They cheer me right up. God bless you Helen (& your family) and thank you for all you do for your fans.

    I have just shared this video with my adult daughter (she will be 50 next week) who has Covid and feeling very poorly, here in Melbourne, Australia. She does pottery when she is well, in her spare time, and I know, like me, she will appreciate your amazing creativity! Thank you! Inspirational!

      I watched you make several years ago- it was so enjoyable and now that its finished I could look at it and touch its beauty. For hours I love the colors that you put in it ! I have some Black Elephant Ears coming up now they really multiplied but not true black... phoey. :-)

      I can tell you, those suckers are heavy! We bought a much smaller one at fundraiser for kids going on a missions trip!!
      This looks is just amazing! How did she get it to turn green? oh BAHAHAHAHA!!!
      that’s the plant 🌱 itself still. It’s been a long lock down and I guess I lost some brain cells, in the last four months!!❤️🧡💛
      I love the color she picked for this one!!

    omg I am going to be spending the rest of the day peeling my jaw off the ground. Her only problem is it's way too valuable to put outside and use as a birdbath now that it is painted. I have been a pro artist since about 1986. I have been very lost without my husband's granny (who was also named Helen) to show me the way. She showed me a lot about how to live out in the country, but she never did get to show me her secret for casting concrete, and I was afraid to try it. We live on her farm now, and I think when my kid and I do this project, she will be very proud of us up there in heaven, lol. I am so glad I found you today, you even sound like Granny. I know she would have wanted a beautiful birdbath in her yard like this. Maybe I will make a garden like she always wanted, with rose bushes.

    Ms. Helen this video from 4 years ago popped up today and I got so excited because this is the video where I discovered you! I can't believe it's been 4 years! Boy! Time sure does fly don't it! I was googling a leaf shaped birdbath and you popped up all those years ago. I loved your birdbath then and even more now because I just love you too. It is a work of art, no doubt. You are an artist. Have a beautiful, blessed day. Love Melissa in the mountains of Virginia.

I need to head to the hardware store to buy the necessary tool so I can try to create a work of art of my own. You are so patient and you take your time to do the job right! Your bird bath is gorgeous and I love the paint colors you chose. It makes me think you were an art major in college. You are so gracious and classy, very inspiring. I hope I'm as strong as you are to be able to pick up the bird bath once it's dry so I can turn it over and paint it. You have Herculean strength. Thank you.
