Hello Momo

Colorful Jewelry by Hello Momo

"I love bright colors! If you like bright colors too, you will enjoy my jewelry. It is made from recycled telephone wire and unique, handmade (not by me), glass beads. First, telephone wire is twisted and coiled; then cut into small pieces or 'beads'. Does this take a long time? You bet, but it is like meditation for me. Black, cloth-covered elastic, not the skinny stuff that loses its shape, is used for stringing. Finally, the tied knot is tucked into a telephone wire bead for a finished look. You will not be disappointed!

"If you are wondering about the name, my daughter, who was 20 months at the time and referred to my mom as MoMo, would pick up a phone and say, "Hello, Momo?" Telephone wire~Hello Momo. Gotta have the telephone wire to talk to Momo! If my jewelry makes you as happy as it makes me when I am creating it, then I have succeeded :) Buy some jewelry and make someone happy!" -KC Hosaka, artist
