Here is what my customers have said about my work:

Received 3 unframed paintings from Helena. Beautiful work. Smooth transaction.

My new painting is pride of place in my office, it brings me calm from the Highlands everyday, just stunning. I’m happy in my workspace. Thank you!!! Elizabeth, Newcastle.

We love Helena’s work. in particular her paintings. Skye is a very special place for us and the beautiful images created by Helena capture the essence and atmosphere of the island’s special and very varied moods.

Purchasing from the website is very straightforward. The images displayed are clear and deliveries by post are always very carefully packaged. Payment is very simple vis bank transfer and delivery is always very prompt. Altogether excellent!

Church, England.

Delighted with my painting! Even more beautiful in the real than the image online, I’m likely to come back to buy another. Very smooth easy communication and BACS payment. Arrived beautifully packed with a lovely card. Thank you. Deena, South Shields.

We are very pleased with our two unframed paintings, now we just have to frame them to be in our living room, pride of place. Isla, London.

I bought an unframed painting for my wife from Helena, it’s beautiful small painting that reminds us of happy times on Skye. Paul Stewart, Oxford

Our beautiful Pebbles arrived! They are made for holding, so so so beautiful. It was packaged so well and so special.

Just wanted to let you know we have our special spoon in pride of place, it's so special we love it. Thank you so much for something so special.  Chris and Mary, Glasgow.

I am so so excited to own my own copper pebble, I bought it as a special present for myself and I will keep polishing it and looking at it. Thank you. Alli.

 
I thought you might like to see my little collection of your work, now that it is all together on my desk.  
the spoons are exquisite!  The workmanship is perfect.  and the whole notion of making spoons with holes intrigues me…i like the idea of taking a functional object design and making it an art piece.  
The pebble is just as wonderful.  i’m not a great photographer, and the finish is just like a mirror!  So pleasing to have in my hand!
Thank you so much!
Peggy, USA
 
I wanted to write again to thank you for the spoons that just arrived.  i feel so fortunate to have added to my little collection of your work.  
as I’ve said before, they are exquisite and perfectly executed.  what strikes me now that i can see several side-by-side is how unique each one is.   Markings, holes, handles…all are different, and the combinations are so lovely.  it is impossible for me to pick a ‘favorite’!   I also enjoy that each spoon has its own ‘name’.
It has been a delight to work with you to get them to me..indeed they travel a long, long way and i must wait patiently for them to make the journey to the USA. The packaging is secure, and beautiful too!  
Peggy, USA
 

I received one of your beautiful copper pebbles as a birthday gift from my daughter, on Saturday. I absolutely love it, it's so stunning in its simplicity and so soothing to hold. I've found myself reaching for it several times and turning it over in the palm of my hand mesmerised. Thank you so, so much for the way you exquisitely wrapped it.  Deborah x

My pebble arrived and its even more beautiful than I could have imagined. So delicate yet sturdy and deeply satisfying to hold. I am going to put it on my desktop so I can look at it every day as a reminder that All is Good and Everything is Possible. Thank you!

Sue Jenkins, Pennsylvania.

I bought two copper pebbles for my dad. He is so pleased with them and enjoys holding them, they are beautifully made, simple, light and beautiful. The process of buying them was very easy and friendly from Helena.

Jean, Cambridge.

 

More beautiful in the real than I could imagine! I am so happy with my spoons.

Tina, Copenhagen, Denmark

 
WOW!!!  The pieces 'Gleaming Morning Sea' and 'Gentle Shadows of Sea' are absolutely stunning & even better than l'd imagined. I didn't think that would be possible, but they have surpassed my very high expectations. Congratulations & thank you for all your time and work in producing these gems. I will treasure them & display each piece in my home with excitement & gentle pride. I feel honoured to be their new owner & will gain an enormous amount of pleasure from gazing at them each day. The whole process of looking at your website, getting in touch, your frequent & helpful emails - which kept me updated with progress, the care taken with everything from making the pieces to the packaging & delivery of them have been outstanding. Helena, it's been a pleasure to do business with you. I'm thrilled to be adding your two wonderful pieces from The Isle of Skye, to my already much loved & treasured pictures & craftwork. With best wishes to you and your business. 

Marion, Cornwall.

 

I bought a uniue silver spoon from Helena. It is beautifully made and so delicate. I love looking at it in my living room where it catches the light. Helena was so generous to deal with, it was a pleasure.

Gill, Cambridge.

 

My husband bought me a beautiful painting that reminds us of our anniversary on the Isle of Skye. I love it! Its so gentle and soothing and adds to my memory of the holiday. I hope one day to return to Skye and maybe buy another painting. Thank you so much.

Heather and Brian, Ohio.

 

"Just wanted to let you know what a delightful experience it was to recently buy a spoon from your website for a Valentine gift for my wife.
She had idly let slip how much she loved your work, so it was an easy option to find your website and choose a spoon.
You kindly responded very quickly to my inquiry (I had of course left it to the last minute), but you reassured my you could deliver my spoon of choice, and indeed it arrived several days before the 'big day'.
The beautiful spoon (saying spoon doesn't quite do it justice!) arrived packed so well it took a fair bit of 'getting in to'. It had several layers of robust packaging, leading to more tactile layers of lovingly wrapped tissue paper.
I decided to explore no further and allow my wife to take first peak - she was of course delighted and amazed at my taste and discernment (of course). You showed genuine interest throughout the transaction, emailing me many times to ensure everything was OK.
I wanted to thank you for the trouble you took and the quality of your wonderful work - my wife says she now officially collects spoon - what have we started?"
Jonathan from London.

"I contacted Helena after seeing a thread piece in a gallery months before. Having sent me some pictures, we agreed on the sale. Payment via PayPal was easy and secure. The piece arrived well packed on the day requested. The piece was even nicer than the one we originally looked at and now makes a great addition to our hall."
Hazel from Edinburgh.

"I am writing to report the September Sea Rhythms has arrived safely, thank you for all the excellent package and just perfect organization of the process!
The piece is even better in real life, I am totally in love with it. Now we have to redecorate the room to give it a decent background:) I love the combination of the surfaces and colours, can stare at it for ages. Thank you again for the masterpiece and the great experience in acquiring it."
Lana from Dundee.


'I recently purchased a small sugar spoon from Helena Emmans. It was a pleasure to work with her, and the piece she designed for me exceeded my expectations. Her work is beautiful, artistic, and sculptural. Each design is unique, and Helena works with you to ensure that she captures and incorporates your ideas as to the design of the piece. I look forward to adding more of her spoons to my collection, including her jewelry.'
Francis, USA.


I'm thrilled with my pebble necklace. Helena's workmanship is exquisite.
The necklace is beautiful, as it looked on the website, and there are delightful little details I only discovered on handling it.
The whole buying experience has been effortless and postage was arranged to suit my convenience.
Mrs S Fraser, Surrey.


I had seen Helena's work featured in Country living magazine and thought her silver spoons quite lovely . Consequently, I phoned and told her what I liked and have just received the finished work..tastefully presented in brown wrap and fine string with a description of the style of spoon, altogether a very special piece of craftsmanship and one I will treasure ...and will add to in due course!!
Penny, Worcestshire.

I found Helena in Country Living UK. The Isle of Sky seemed magical, a full page picture. The next page Helena in the middle of this vastness and her jewelry. I was entranced. I hoped that she would deal with someone in the US as I sent off an email.
I wanted a ring for myself and my sister Alice. Helena was so prompt and delightful to work with. She sent us two ring sizers right away. Then kept in touch as to how the rings were coming along and asked me what I hoped they would look like.
When the box came in the mail I was so excited. A lovely note, two brown boxes tied with thin string, sporting tags...ring for Gail...ring for Alice. Upon opening my box I was overwhelmed. Helena got it perfect. Her lines and dots like the landscape she lives in.
The pocked stones she picked up along the shore were now delicately fashioned in silver and on my finger. My sister came two days later and I presented her box unopened along with Helena's note. She was very touched and we are both over the moon.
Now I am thinking that I will be needing something else from the Isle of Skye. I can hear Helena's small hammer calling me from her little caravan workshop. Tap Tap Tap...a broach maybe???
Gail, USA.

I received your spoon and I love it even more. Your work is simple and beautiful.
Thank you.

Earlier this year I read an article in Country Living magazine about Helena, her working with silver and taking inspiration from the landscape around her home on the Isle of Skye. From the pictures I spied a lovely necklace and contacted Helena to see if I could get one made. The original necklace was a short length but I was looking for a longer one. This was no problem to Helena who was happy to accommodate my specifications and, with a few suggested extra details from her, she produced a beautiful long necklace that can be worn casually or dressy. It was delivered the next day, to sign for, in a box and beautifully wrapped. Jewellery is very personal thing. This necklace is unique and I will love it each time I wear it. Thank you!
Suzanne, Manchester.

I recently purchased two exquisite spoons from Ms Emmans. The entire process was as lovely as her spoons. She is gracious, responds promptly, and is quite helpful in trying to line an interested buyer with her works of art. They are even more amazing in person with such fine detail, graceful lines and beckoning shapes. She attributes much of her inspiration to her Isle of Skye and indeed it makes one immediately want to go there! I feel blessed to have these precious pieces.

I first saw a piece of Helena's work via a RT on Twitter.. (Threadwork) Loved it straight away it was totally unique!  Instantly went to web site.. Contacted Helena who sent me images of 3/4 different pieces available all of which I would have bought. One piece stood out & thankfully was still available to buy..... It's a lovely piece called 'A Piece of the Sea' The detail of Helena's work is amazing! The way the threads wrap on the driftwood & the colours work so well! I've no regrets! Delivery cost was reasonable & within 48 hours it was here! Do not miss out!!!!! All in all? Superb! 

Colin, UK.

I have seen Helena Emmans spoons in Sweden. I asked her to make me a simple hanging spoon. The spoon I have is the most beautiful spoon I can ever imagine, I have it on my wall and I enjoy looking at it every day. So beautifully crafted and serene. Now I want to collect them!

Anna, Copenhagen, Denmark.

My wife and I went on holiday to Skye. We saw Helena Emmans's paintings in the Skyeworks Gallery and were instantly taken with her painting style, very evocative of the mood of Skye. I contacted Helena  who was very helpful and we bought a painting from her. We are very pleased with our purchase, the painting is beautiful and reminds us of a very windswept holiday on Skye.

Ian, Devon.
