New Craft Studio! Help Me make it Awesome

I'm so excited to make craft vlogs as a slow process because sculpting videos were just unrealistic and unhealthy for me. Please leave online store names for wallpapers. Remember not to use links because youtube will put you in the hidden comments section. but the new craft tour for steampunk will be soon. Just bear with me because I'm kind of slow lol

I'm happy for you Jackie that you've found a way to enjoy crafting again. Don’t always feel like you have to share your creations with us grains, but of course I, as I'm sure many others will agree, would love to see anything you make. I obviously enjoy your crafting videos, and I loved your last video of paint pouring over those bear figurines with Sika, but remember to create for yourself and not just your followers. If you want to show us your finished sculptures, I would be very interested in seeing that. Also, you should name your skull and little pipe person! You could imagine little personalities for them and naming them might help with that. I remember I painted a paper maché skull when I was like 15 and I called it Isaac and his personality was grumpy. I'm thinking I might upcycle him one day and give him a makeover. Much love to you Jackie. 💖

[@angelofmusic997]

Oooh this is such a cool project! I love certain elements of steampunk. I think the battery is for the clock (the "gauge-thingy" you were talking about).

[@purpleclove1929]

The skull is cute...and I think I like the clock/lamp the best! (ps: the battery is probably for the clock!)

[@jchenowethprescott]

I came to the comments to say that gauge is a clock lol

[@heathervona7883]

Me too...lol

[@Leena79]

This sounds like a really cool project! May I suggest, instead of the brick wallpaper, a wallpaper, which imitates distressed metal, or, a gray brick wall? If you're going to be sitting right next to the wall, a slightly calmer shade (grayish) might be nicer in the long run, and if you add copper and brass stuff, and some plants, in front of the wall, a gray background really makes the warmer tones pop. Gray also looks stunning with the kind of warm dark wood that table of yours is. Also, this is my own neurodivergent problem, but I get distracted by wallpapers with patterns that are too obviously repetitive. I love the idea of the lamps with the humanlike figures, but the lamp with the clock (I bet that battery was for the clock) has two functions, so it's more handy. The scull is also super cool, but not very functional. The idea off adding some moss on it sounds great!

[@liz-oq7ux]

I thought the functionality of the clock lamp was both amazing and adorable!! I really really enjoyed it and I love your wallpaper suggestions!

[@thebookwyrmslair6757]

Pretty!

[@hiddentidesgaming]

Plus the color of the wall can affect the color of the project being worked on too from the light bouncing off! A more neutral tone would definitely be better.

[@sandiemable]

This is so cool! My faves are the clock/lamp and the Eddison. The battery is for the clock. I think the sitting lamp would look great on a small stack of books on a shelf. If there is such a thing as rustic stone wallpaper, that might work as a backdrop. I can't wait to see how you put everything together! xoxo's Sandie

[@tuffgirl922]

Sandie M. I totally agree! Some Manga books or steam punk themed would be amazing!

[@portalsfae123]

JACKIEEEEEE! I'm soooo excited for this project and can't wait to see how it turns out!!

[@jessicaallen8498]

Me too

[@rclfunlover9572]

Me 3 xxx

[@conribarnes1373]

Going with the era steampunk is set in, a Victorian inspired wallpaper would work wonderfully. Maybe something that looks a little distressed. It would be a nice contrast to all the metal tones.

[@craftymee]

I feel like we’re playing Animal Crossing and helping you decorate a room. 😊 I love it! ❤

[@annasensee8132]

So cool! Have you thought about using a tapestry for the wall? Then you could switch out designs sometimes if you found multiple that you wanted. ❤️

[@exinilda]

That is so cool!! I love them all! The clock is fantastic! That’s probably what the battery is for 🥰❤️ you need a snacks table to feed Seeka 🤣😂😘😘you sisters are awesome 😎

[@brittanyslife8138]

I have the same problem. I have a while craft room but my health is not good. I'm 28 on end of life care. I want to make and inspire people to do crafts and art but it's the editing that would be a problem for me

[@metapatina4261]

Can’t wait for the sculpting! One suggestion for decor. A large version of the my little pony in steampunk the first one turned out so awesome!

[@Mystic0138]

Hi Jackie! If you get the brick wall, find one with moss to break up the pattern. Go more post post-apocalyptic, like the skull idea.

[@OkiPokiii]

I absolutely LOVE steampunk styled stuff it’s honestly so cool! Also the type of wallpaper you should use is brick wallpaper you mentioned.

[@akirito.ryu_ame.mothera]

I'm super excited to see how everything comes together! For the wallpaper I like the bricks, just make sure it's more on the dark side so the lamps and skull really pop especially with the lighting. And of the four, my favorite has to be the lamp with the pressure gauge clock. It also looks like you could store shorter tools in the bottom open pipe of the lamp like a shallow cup for items

[@amuttisnoone]

Im excited to see this in the future. Also my favorites are: the "person" and the last one with the clock

[@themaddtatter6679]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁 My steampunk salty self would have brick on the bottom ( like a wall) and the top half a sky scene with those steampunk blimps and dirigibles. Would just open my mind and daydreaming creative thoughts ❤🧠👌🎉 much love!

[@StitchwyckCreations]

Steampunk is flipping awesome!! I have much Steampunk things I don't use anymore that can be used to craft. Please could I send them to you?

[@angieemm]

It's going to look really cool when you get things sorted out! The skull is a type of resin, but I can't remember what kind. It's really common in home décor items. Maybe it's fiberglass resin? But yeah, it's super heavy and breaks the same way a ceramic item might, but it's a plastic type of material. I like the brick wallpaper idea, but you could also get plastic brick façade that's 3D and that would look pretty cool too.

[@divinewrath3142]

First Project- build a cool surface table for the sitting lamp. You can build on something to hold tools and brushes you're using for whatever project you're currently working on.

[@AngieDeAguirre]

You unboxed a little Man made out of steampunkery without us? 😢 You bought many pretty things n.n

[@kerriproper5843]

I think it’s a cool idea for your crafting table to be cyberpunk/steampunk themed, I love it 😻🥰😻

[@lyndaennis8508]

Hi Jackie so did ur operations work with ur back cause I have the same problem with my back but I've got 3crushed discs and 3crushed vertebra s plus arthritis to the lower part of my back because I broke it giving birth with my first she broke my tail bone and now have arthritis in it hurts well everything hurts also on pain meds and work with pain management ect( doctors ) love everything you do lots of love to you xxxxxx and pat and feathery and fur babies

[@gregrichardson5868]

How much is a difference between the three and a little too much on my phone so I’m trying not trying it but it still hurts so bad I’m still in bed 🛌 but still trying to figure out a way to figure out how much more and then I’ll get a new bed 🛏 and I’m trying not to do anything to get a little bit more and then my head to my head still not feeling better I still have my little one ☝️ and my dad and his family is trying so I will have it on it 🫡 I’m not going on my phone ☎️ I can’t get a better way out to my place and my sister still trying to figure out my name for it and then it was so nice 😊 it and then my dad was like 👍 but it is a lot more like 👍 I’m so excited 😆 but still need more money 💴 but still trying to figure out how I’m trying not to be able I think 💭 and then my friends will not do anything so if you don’t need it then I’ll do the stuff and I have no problem 😌 it but I’m not going out for my own life and then we can get a better deal I have a good 😊 I’m sorry 😢 but still trying to figure out how I’m trying not to do understand what you mean 😪 I know you do that I don’t need a good 😊 I think 🤔 and you have no respect 🫡 I’m trying not to get hurt 😢 I need you for my job I’m trying not to get out what I’m going through this time but not a problem

[@amykat75]

What about some whitewashed brick wallpaper? You could add some stains and aging areas to it with paint.

[@Yotsubaandmochi]

Just in case you are still wondering about the battery I think it goes to the clock part of the lamp. I think it would be interesting to have some kind of wallpaper that looked like old paper/letters maybe?

[@AlishaN-yh5nf]

If Youse brik wall paper you can brighten it up by making giant cogs to put them across it.

[@samp.1348]

Deconstructed wall. You where you see the broken plaster and underneath is the brick.

[@elizabethh9935]

Maybe there are steampunk dollhouses for inspiration, too. :)

[@impressed_by_design_nails5273]

That one with the "gauge" is a clock and the battery goes in the gauge/clock!!!

[@KateAdiAdura]

what about decoration wall stickers of your favorite characters or nature things to brake up the brick if you go that route can't wait to see the creation 😀 😊 😄.

[@no0nexoxo823]

These decorations are amazing and versatile. I have learned today that steam punk objects can be used as a weapon as well. Ofc for self defense 😌. But you put me on to something new 💕

[@drakkina08]

I don't know if anyone said it but the battery is for the clock more then likely.

[@MUTTNUTTSCRAZYCRAFTING]

They are all cool but love the skull and that one lap that is a clock on it and that is what the battery is for my aunt have that lamp

[@tinacluff2793]

I like the one with the clock. If you want bricks look into white bricks???

[@JTCreations20]

Oh hey Jackie, You don’t have to have a deadline. You can do it whenever you want

[@avighnaiyer4237]

I am so excited for your new project 💗💗💗

[@Disney-art-craft-fan]

put the sitting lamp on a stack of old or lather books.

[@WeirdEarthling11]

Looks AMAZING, we're really excited to see what you choose and what you get up to. The little battery is for the clock (gauge).

[@teresamartinez5004]

I think the battery is for the clock/gage thingy

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Ohhh those were gorgeous. My favourite was the one you chose actually. It's almost alive isn't it! Talking about sculpting, I have been planning my first ever air dry clay sculpture, just a simple one but oh boy am I ever looking forward to it! My husband will help me with the armature and the stand, and then the rest is up to me, and I simply can't wait! So I can totally sympathise with your excitement. I can't wait to see what you make! It will be super cool Jackie simply coz YOU made it. God bless you and Pat and all of your family.

[@denisemass6081]

Have the sitting lamp on a pile of vintage books.

[@nkcooper21]

Have you looked at spoonflower for wallpaper

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

Jackie, I think the batterie goes into the clock that came with the last lamp

[@Synth-G]

I'm sure someone has probably already said this, but the tiny battery is probably a watch battery for the 'gauge'. All the lamps are so cool too.

[@Midnights_19899]

Wow I like the new studio ❤️First

[@gemini1005]

I'm so glad you're doing this and getting back to what you love! I know its gotta be hard, and frustrating to do what you love but feel so rushed and in pain. Even if it's not for a video, LOVE the theme, look pretty kick a§§ lol. Much love and much luck on it all ❤✌🏾🙏🏾

[@greenecrayon]

You might do a wishlist because I'm pretty sure the salt shaker family wants to give back

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

OMG nuuuu I’d feel super guilty. Your presence always means the world to me

[@Kathyelyn]

Jackie - did you already decided about desk? Because ikea have desk that changes height and for you it would be awesome, because you could in the middle of sculpting change the height and your position. And if i remember it correctly, it makes a sound that sound like steam puff when it rises or goes down

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

What?!? No way. I didn’t know. I’ll check it out

[@BadSamaJama]

Great Job Jackie.... Ya got some really creepy cool scheisse! Can't wait to see more and also can't wait to see the space all put together!!!!!!!!!

[@Seoulsearch616]

So happy to hear that you are doing well - and doing something just for yourself! We are excited to go on the journey with you. ❤️ Much love, Jackie! 🥰🌹🤗

[@CatandRaven]

Ahhhh I love steampunk stuff!! I can't wait to see what all you end up decorating with! I'm really excited to see your work when you're able to work on schedule that is relaxing for you instead of stressful. I know you've mentioned in some of crafting videos that you felt rushed and I know that feeling isn't great when trying to be creative. Should be so fun! Plus maybe that means we get a wider variety of your interests across the multiple channels??? Yes please! ~Raven

Wow Jackie,these steampunk items are a....maaaaaaaaaaazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍looooove them all. I am very curious how your art-place will look when it is ready, looking forward to it

[@supratikmukherjee5760]

9:37 In the watch that you keep calling a gauge......DUH....(insert Billie Eilish Meme)

[@danielastuff9529]

That's the way to go: NO MORE DEADLINEEEEEES. I can see you glowing with excitement as you have worked out the "not-so-secret-ingridient" of joyful crafting. I am so curious what you will make. Go for the slow 😄

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

I’m so excited to make more detailed pieces 🥰🥰

[@danielastuff9529]

@@NerdEJackieVlogs this will be so great... For you and all of the grains.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Love the style you picked ❤️ Maybe you could get a shelving system that stands on itself instead of hanging from the wall 💡 That way it's more sturdy and you could even sit "bulbie" ons shelf.

[@Armillifer]

Jackie, have you ever considered attending a steampunk convention? Perhaps in the NJ area.. perhaps in the month of May? There is a great convention called COGS Expo you should visit. :D Perhaps even participate in a maker's panel and talk about crafting!

[@trixalemote5691]

I was at COGs! I def recommend it too 😌

[@Armillifer]

@@trixalemote5691 I was at the first two (2018 and 2019, came all the way from Sweden to attend. Best convention, with the best people. It would be a dream to have Jackie attend!

[@amandafrancis4090]

Oh, Jackie...battery+clock=clock working. Take your time and enjoy the process...you've got this!

[@harleybootsyshepard5395]

Highly recommend looking at nemesis now, looking at the skull it's one of theirs, they have a steampunk range

[@pattygreen1938]

Hello Jackie. Love watching your videos. You have me laughing every time I watch you. 🙋‍♀️❤❤❤

[@CybrrSpeak]

Jackie those are such cool lamps. They kind of remind me of the game Stray, with the robots and the little cat. Also I think my fav is the lamp with the little clock that was the 3rd one you opened up btu they are really cool!!

[@NatalieBramasole]

At the wall.......how about a frame with gears and stuff and a mirror inside (so your room will look bigger too!)

[@amptown1]

I love you Jackie!! Glad you will be sculpting for yourself. I love the skull. #bladerunner

[@yiotatort]

Um... I always think Scheele's Green when I think Victorian Wallpaper - so something that color - without the arsenic of course.

[@CuriosityRocks]

I think a cityscape would be cool, maybe a window frame and the city through the window effect

[@stephaniewarren4197]

This is going to be awesome! I totally understand the anxiety over finishing projects. Steampunk+nature=awesome!

[@deena2851]

Awesome project! Love the decorations you got, especially the skull!

[@sweethaven5]

Have you watched Kurios, by Cirque du Soleil? It is steampunk. Try KZbin.

[@catmomjill]

I'm so excited for you!! But I thought for sure you would go Geeky. But Steampunk works well.

[@deliriousdemons0119]

IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS! steampunk is my favorite look on top of gothic

[@SestraVixen]

Oh gosh lol It hits geeky AND steampunk, but look up "Alice: Madness Returns steampunk". American McGee's Alice in Madness Returns has a Steampunk DRESS that is absolutely amazing. There is wall art of it, cosplay, cosplay props (like the hat! OMG the hat would look AWESOME in a Steampunk theme area!) and just a lot in general. I'm kinda biased though, bc well, I have Alice in the Steampunk dress tattooed on me 😆

[@chrisw8389]

Sounds super exciting Jackie, so proud of you, you got there, crafting should be about you and the pleasure you get from the creative process. Trust me I have tried many crafts rushed through them to finish them, at end thinking You could do so much better if you had taken the time. Also found I went away from crafts for a long time before I realized I needed the out let. AWESOME JOB TAKE THE BULL BU THE HORNS AND RID IT.🤩🤩🤩

[@leylacookie4475]

With the Steampunk Look you could call your Craft Room , The Land of Laputa because of the Steampunk Lamps because they look like the Robots from The Castle in the Sky from the Anime Film from Hayao Miyazaki :3 right?

[@fatemehmaryam2419]

O. M. G!!! I am sooo excited! Steampunk is one of my favourite themes! Just love it so much! Can't wait until it's all set up! 😍 They're all so awesome. I can't pick a favourite, btw.

[@kriscole5601]

I absolutely love your lamps. Especially the one with the working clock. Steampunk is so cool

[@silverhoney6969]

So cool!! Love it all. Wallpaper - what if what if what if… you did the bricks. BUT THEN customized it by adding Ivy, vines, distress some of the bricks, and then have parts with gears on or in the wall, steam punk secret garden vibes

[@kevaveejay1317]

Hi Jackie 👋. Yaaay to rekindled passions aaannd our studio upgrade! Also thanks... the first lamp is a perfect gift for my Dad, just in time for Father's Day. He's retired from the City of Chicago Sewerage and I think the gift is befitting. Those bulbs 💡 😍. I can't hardly wait to see what you choose.

[@anniehartley8851]

The king of wall paper, William Morris, super expensive, super designs, hate brick, or anything like that, if you don`t know he is rather Victorian, Steampunk is like that, corsets and weird stuff.

[@bjaberle8626]

I’m a HUGE FAN of two things 1.ANYTHING steampunk 2. You (P.S I don’t know any of the terms either but…) Put them together to get *Cue heavenly music*

[@LanternSkyy]

Those all look amazing! I'd say the battery is for the clock maybe?

[@Majesticwolfie]

Oh meh gurd!!!! Holy shrimp carp!!! I know someone who's cousin does customize steampunk things!!! He did this captain neomo steampunk costume. He also made a working steampunk harpoon wrist cuff that is made out of leather and it worked as a live mini harpoon gun! Like when I found my best friend was his cousin....all sorts of shame here...I fan girled....sooo hard....I went ultra fan girl and geeked out! He always goes to cons and has his Lil shop and his mascot is a octopus! 😆 I love it but when I seen that your going to go into that steampunk thing he popped into my head and I'm going to ask my bestie what his name again lololol and I'll have to repost it for you here so you can check out all his steampunk themed things! Like his house is like one of those old classic Victorian houses, it's all steampunk themed, and Halloween themed it's great!!! >_

[@Buffylove27]

So glad you will be able to work on sculptures in a lot more relaxed manner. My daughters favorite was the clock lamp, because it's so beautiful (and it's what I think the battery is for). Mine is the shelf/person shaped lamp. Reminder me of the "Just do it" meme you put on some of your videos. 🤣 Suggestion: maybe a white-washed brick wall wallpaper? Gives you the texture without overtaking all the cool stuff. Last note... My daughter (8) and I have been watching your videos for almost a year, and we consistently look forward to your videos! We are a huge fan (and even thought about you on our recent vacation... Did you know there is a Salt & Straws ice cream place in Disney Springs (Orlando, FL)? We took a picture of it just because it reminded us of you.

[@tyeddyedfriedgranny468]

I am so glad /happy/estatic... yep not enough adjetives to describe my joy( hey another one) over the fact you are getting back to crafting. Thank You ! And congrats on finding your happy place hunny. 😁😁 Stay Groovy✌~N~💖

[@jessicaplane9231]

Guessed geeky steampunk. Really excited to see how this turns out😄the brick with exposed steel with bolts/rivets? Home Depot/ home hardware, Amazon. Love the lamp, could have his own background story

[@unchainedmel1475]

I would recommend not making the space too dark and ensuring you have adequate light. Obviously a whiter light is better especially for colour and painting. Remember that steampunk can be shiney and chrome. Look up those luxury locomotives from the 20's to 40's. But always consider the practicality of your workspace. The space you have for things and adequate lighting. The skull is very Warhammer 40k. Not even like steampunk 40k like an actual 40k aesthetic. I dig it

[@byecatsstacey7467]

Yayee!!! Steampunk! and going about sculpting at Jackie's pace so she can enjoy, take her time and craft again to her hearts content! So happy to see and look forward to watching this space! BTW, fellow youtuber Alexandra Gater has TONS of ideas for transforming spaces with wallpapers - some even temporary stick on stuff - and she is a fellow Canadian. Highly recommend for creative ideas. Like using a sort of wainscoting below your brick would make the area SO steampunk vibe-like. Yayee!

[@craftingemily]

Maybe you should contact DIYdaine I know she is in Canada but I don’t know what providence. I think she could make an awesome craft corner!

[@AirRaiser2000]

I've found antique wood paneling backdrops a.nd fabric. Also Bently House Minis used a brick wallpaper as an accent wall, it looks amazing!

I am so happy for you that you are going to sculpt your sculptures at your leisure and keep doing what you love! Take care! Enjoy! All of the steampunk pieces are awesome, however I love the steampunk skull the best. 🥰🥰🥰

On Amazon, they have a grey stone and vines wallpaper…. Or just grey stone…… it might be less busy and more subtle colors, while keeping the steampunk look…. 😉

[@devilcat616]

Yeah, loving the idea Jackie❤️ wish you the best, and I love the lamps 🥺😍

[@Katurine]

The "sitting figure" lamp makes me think of Little Helper, a tiny humanoid robot with a lightbulb for the head, from Duck Tales series and Donald Duck comics.

[@Tezzica]

AHHHHH, steampunk! It's going to look so cool when you have it put together. As for background, distressed/muted/decayed wallpapers may tie it together but it's really personal preference. You could even go for distressed bricks so it's more muted if you enjoy the brick texture.
