Rebeca Mojica

Rebeca Mojica is an award-winning jewelry artist, instructor and best-selling author specializing in chainmaille. She grew her craft supply business, Blue Buddha Boutique, from a side hustle to a million-dollar enterprise in nine years. Driven by a strong desire to reach the next generation of crafters, she partnered with a toy manufacturer to create the first line of chainmaille jewelry kits for children aged 8 and up. Before moving to sunny Los Angeles, she owned a Chicago retail shop and co-produced the long-running indie artisan fair The DIY Trunk Show. When not crafting, Rebeca enjoys powerlifting, clumsily playing the handpan, training her cat, contemplating the universe, riding her bike and exploring whatever her latest special interest happens to be.
