Thanks to:
Jenna Deidel, for spending countless hours in a tiny, hot photography room, painstakingly shooting the step-by-step photos for this book and staying in good humor despite the less-than-ideal shooting conditions; Kat Wisniewski, for keeping the studio running smoothly while I holed myself up to write, for the weekly manicures that kept my fingers in tip-top shape, and for proofmailling several of the finished pieces; Vanessa Walilko for proofreading, weaving some of the pieces in this book and sanity-checking the ring sizes for the projects; Jason Scerena for anodizing thousands of niobium rings; Jen Hohe for coordinating my project needs with the production schedule of our ring makers; Emily Fiks for all her hard work in the studio gathering rings for book projects and classes; Sky Cubacub, Carrie Evenowski, Angelique Gall, Jennifer Hyatt, Christa Krasneck, L. Lindsey, Laura Moore, Oksana Movchan and Andrew Zablocki for testing most of the patterns you see in this book as well as dozens more that didn't make the final cut; my editor Jenni, for patiently and thoroughly answering all my questions; all the students and customers of Blue Buddha Boutique, without whom I would not have had a reason, nor the inspiration, to write this book; artisans Spider, Lord Charles, Zlosk and Maillemaster for encouraging me to follow my passion; metalsmiths Sarah Chapman and Kathy Frey for openness in sharing jewelry experiences, knowledge and resources; Caravan Beads for giving me the opportunity to begin teaching maille; my mom Rita Mojica for her enthusiastic support; Rach@el Bild, for being there from the beginning; Ben Evans for his love, support and feedback; Kaplan Test Prep for taking my teaching abilities to the next level; Aerosmith for providing an excellent soundtrack for mailling; and finally to Zed the cat for reminding me to relax and have fun along the way.
Rebeca Mojica is an award-winning chainmaille artist and instructor. By using colorful rings and combining classic weaves in new ways, she has redefined this ancient craft. At current count, this self-taught artist knows over one hundred weaves, including more than a dozen patterns of her own creation.
Rebeca has been teaching maille for almost as long as she has been making it. She helps students discover that they, too, can create beauty using only their hands, pliers and jump rings.
When she had difficulty finding high-quality supplies for her designs, Rebeca decided to found Blue Buddha Boutique in 2003 with a focus on precision sizing and clean, polished rings. Originally operated out of a spare bedroom in her home, the company is now one of the largest chainmaille suppliers in the world, shipping orders to all fifty states in the U.S. and more than thirty countries.
Rebeca is considered a pioneer and one of the industry's only experts. She teaches regularly at local bead stores and art centers, and has taught at the international Bead&Button Show. She has also been a guest instructor for the Fashion Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her instructional projects have been published in multiple books and magazines.
Rebeca's necklace Poseidon's Embrace, made of 14,500 titanium and stainless steel jump rings, won 3rd place in the Finished Jewelry category of the Bead Dreams 2009 competition.
Rebeca is a member of the Chicago Craft Mafia and Chicago Metal Arts Guild. She is a contributing editor to Step by Step Wire Jewelry magazine. Her work has appeared on CLTV and in the Chicago Tribune and The New York Times.
While at a Renaissance Faire in Germany, I saw several people wearing gypsy-style chain mail belts with dramatically draped chains and beads. I had to have one! Unfortunately or in retrospect, perhaps at the most serendipitous turning point of my life none of the Faire vendors were selling chain mail. I found one or two belts on the Internet, but nothing quite like what I envisioned. What I did find was 1,000+ jump rings make your own chain mail! Having made jewelry at summer camp, I figured I would give it a go. However, once the rings arrived, I had no idea what to do with them, so they sat untouched for several weeks.
