[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

😱LAST Weekend to get the Salt Shaker Plushie Fidget Box is April 17: shopnerdecrafter.com/ 😱--- Watch the video unboxing from instagram part 1 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnW4aYuAgb-fps0 I'll upload more next week.

[@GlaxianGames]

Jackie I want you to know that no matter how you want to record your videos I will still watch you and if it even means that you need to make progress videos over sculptures that you're making I'm down for it cuz if your body hurts it hurts and I understand that so just do you and I'll still be watching you no matter what

[@BTSblkkatt]

I missed the Crap Box.. I'd be damn if I was going to miss the next one..Order is placed💜

[@TracyLynnAP]

Ordered one for my youngest's birthday. Thank you for the perfect gift.

[@christinahayes7205]

Check out Annie’s Creative Girls Club plz, I need to know if it’s cash or trash!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Now I need the baby salt shaker plushie! He's the cutest

[@TriforceLiz]

Pain that stops you from doing what you enjoy or getting into flow mode is truly one of the worst feelings, and when that pain is chronic? It's absolutely brutal. I've been in a similar situation myself for far too long now. Thank you for sharing this update Jackie, and I hope your pain lessens enough that you can craft again soon, but I will keep watching your channel regardless of what you post- because you always put a smile on my face and make me feel a little better

[@i.m.dmented3245]

Crafting should always be on your own time. I found out the hard way that deadlines restrict my creativity and take the fun out out of it. I'm happy you're excited about sculpting again. 💜 Also, I loooove the fairy tale blind boxes.

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

I agree!! Deadlines have made my sculpting mediocre. I’m excited to sculpt with no deadlines for the first time

[@Aghul]

I really feel that! I started studying interior architecture after school, but noticed that I lost all joy in drawing - which is my favorite thing to do usually - when all I was doing in my courses was drawing and sketching. I only started drawing for fun again when I dropped out of university and did something else instead.

[@sharkgoddess]

This is exactly why I had a hard time trying to sell my art for a full time job…when it’s something I have to do, or a commission with a deadline, it completely kills my creativity. Better to just make what I want to make, when I want to make it, and if someone likes it I might gift it to them. 😉💜

[@annnoyez]

Yes i have adhd and chronique pain syndrome. So i forget time and need my husband to help get away from the table. Lol

[@annnoyez]

@@sharkgoddess o yes me too. I make jewelry and of they eant a piece from me, it has no delivery date. It will come when i am ready. And thats it... lol

[@dixierae3442]

Jackie I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you have found a way to remain comfortable and at the same time bring your grains who love your art so very much a little bit of your gift from time to time. I know the rest of the grains will agree with me that the length of the video is not important it is that you care enough to find a way to make us happy. Big hugs. By the way I absolutely love these artistic unboxings.

[@dulainey9453]

I saw you put the video earlier, panicked when I couldn't access it. So glad to be able to see it now! Much love

[@verloreneseelehill8552]

Good I wasn't the only one

[@2355Hazel]

Me too I clicked on to watch it paused it went for a wee came back an it was gone lol

[@funverhau]

I know that feeling *laughs quietly*

[@FreedArt]

It told me the video was private and I was so sad lol. Thought maybe it was for the paying viewers. Happy to see it was just a mixup.

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

lol I had a copyright claim right away so needed to change the music immediately

[@lindsayf9225]

I was so sad when I woke up with an alert for this video and it had been privated. So happy you put it back up.

[@funverhau]

Hey Jackie, I feel that hyperfocus problem a lot. I have hyperfocus too in creative creations. (Starting to crochet at 7pm and looking at the clock at 5am is just one example of that) . I started to set me alarms to take breaks for hydration, snacks and stretches, so I don't feel like run over by a car on the end.

[@creationDragon]

Yay! A new vlog! Missed you, Jackie! And I've missed you sculpting too but I figured it might be painful. Stay healthy and take care of yourself 🧡 Holy intense camera! Congratulations on the new equipment

[@beerance9715]

I suffer from similar problems and I have an hourly timer go off so I know how long it’s been 😂 it’s probably super obvious but it helps me. I also have a dressing gown tie that I have around my stomach which limits my movement so I don’t lean over my work which is a killer for me! Either way take care of yourself and whether content you give us is a huge blessing ❤️✨

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Oh my goodness, those fairy tales were a cuteness overload today. You asked which ones we wanted to find, so I thought, the swan, and it was! And then I thought, the baby dragon, and it was! And I thought, the wolf, and it was!! But the last one I was hoping for was the mushroom, and it was the frog, but the frog was gorgeous too...oh my gawd, I want to get them now, coz they are incredibly cute!

[@Microplancakes]

I am super excited you’ll be sculpting again!!! It’s always great to change it up when you are able!! I bounce from all kinds of arts depending on my mood and my physical health. You know, sometimes I can paint and sometimes I can crochet, then there’s times I’m sit wishing I could do something! I have adhd, along with chronic pain, so I know you know what I mean! I am super thankful I can do so many things, not perfectly but we’ll enough for me!!! Lol!!!

[@myacentia4732]

I love watching art videos of just art being made I watch them before bed to unwind the crazy entertainment challenge ones over stimulate me

[@MadHatta555]

So happy to get little sculpting updates! I've been around since your tutorial days and I'm glad you can go back to creating without feeling pressure to complete or make clear directions. You're one of the reasons I still make/craft and I've come here to break up a lot of art blocks. All the figures were super cute too. 😁

[@starladawne4719]

Definitely look forward to seeing sculpting. It'll be nice to see how it can be done slowly in order to keep your body healthy and less pained.

[@SpookyDollLady]

So cute! The little wolf is my favorite, he's just so impish with his little fanged smile!

[@paranoiarpincess]

I do the same EXACT thing! I have some cosclay and I want to work with it, but my Arthritis has been really bad lately so I haven't been well enough to really get into it. On the plus side, I am frequenting a pain clinic, so I hope to be feelind better soonish. My son is so excited that I am hopeful for the first time in a very long time. But anyway, when I can do art, I get so absorbed that I lose track of time, space, and the people around me. I've arted through everyone else going to bed, everyone else going out, everyone else telling me they were going to bed or going out and my not having heard anything... Tunnel vision extreme! lol

[@deviltiger21]

I love progress/time lapse videos! So much fun to watch the process without having to watch the whole process :)

[@danielastuff9529]

It is cool knowing that you will bei sculpting again and giving us a bit of a peek on that. It is awesome that you found a way to do it again in a pace that is comfortable for you.

[@sunflower5624]

Hi Jackie! Please post an update on sika and what happened to her we really want to see sika again

[@kristim7542]

Would love to see you sculpt again!!! That’s how I found your channel many years ago! I was looking for how to sculpt baby groot! You have such talent! ❤️

[@Gamyeon]

I'm actually really hyped to see you sculpting again, even if in small segments. You gotta do what you gotta do to stay healthy. I'm also really curious about Cosclay and I'm looking forward to you working with it.

[@loreannlegends]

I have two herniated discs and degenerative disc disease so I understand and empathize with your back pain, but I'm a painter absolutely love painting..I let my back defeat me and I didn't paint for two years..then one day I was desperate to finish a project I wanted to give my mother for mother's day coming up and I got a lap desk surrounded myself with all the supplies I would need.. I got a lazy Susan for makeup brushes and turned it into a paintbrush holder and my basic acrylic paints and literally painting from my lazy boy recliner lol.. I know it seems horrible and lazy but I haven't been this happy in years to be doing what I love again.. you just have to make your supplies work for you! Find your favorite position you can stay in for the longest and then sculpt! We don't have to know you're not at your desk or sitting at a chair most of the time we just see your hands... Feel no shame and do what you love the way it works for you that's what my therapist told me and I couldn't be happier 💙 I hope you find something that works for you!

[@kellykennedy1165]

That camera is the 💣!!! Super cute Dragon baby❤️ But the frog was the best! Love the colors !

[@JayofallTrades]

I feel your pain Jackie. The longer i sit and do art, the more I'm hunched over a desk concentrating and my sciatic nerver starts making my entire lower body hurt and numb. I have neuropathy from diabetes so my feet start flaring up as well that i have to lay down on heating pad for relief. It really sucks having chronic pain. Its one reason i haven't edited in awhile either. Hugs i hope you can do more sculpting soon even if it takes weeks to finish due to taking breaks for pain relief. We grains love you Jackie and want you to be well and take care of yourself. We can always watch old sculpting videos or ace of clay to get our fix of it. Take care of yourself and don't fret over it. ❤️

[@louisejohnson6057]

Jackie, I have the same issues with pain related to hobbies, and loosing track of time. I would suggest setting a timer, and stopping when it goes off. If you're almost finished say, that dragon's left eye, estimate how long it will take to finish, and set the timer again. I hope this helps. All the best from Winnipeg!

[@ctempleman1401]

Very nice camera so kind of them to send it to you. Would love to see an ongoing sculpture. The figures figurines are very cute.

[@MariesStuff]

Hi Jackie so excited to see some of your creations again. I have similar problems and used to have to set timers when I sat down to craft to remind me to take breaks, but they didn't always work because I could switch them off and ignore them. I now have an amazing dog who alerts me when I need to rest and I cant switch him off to do just a bit more lol. He is very insistent 😀

[@nesswabbit]

I think those sculpting videos would be so interesting, going from concept to progress to end result, a really cool way to see your creative process.

[@jessicaarsenault9613]

I love to see you are sculpting again ❤️ can't wait to see your creations.

[@GolyenHighway]

I will watch any video you put out. And I know getting hyper focused is a thing....I do it too. Grats on the camera. I look forwards to you having fun with it. We shall all enjoy your joy. And Popmart has SO much detail. I love their figures. I have 6...2 Yoki (bat), 2 Suri (elf), and 2 Bunny (self explanatory). I actually liked the wolf figure you got....Not many people remember that the original fairy tale had the wolf being cut open by the huntsman, so the scars on the figure's tummy were a fun detail.

[@wendyjones3586]

I totally get it ,I am a doll customizer with Lupus and the pain competes with the desire to create..

[@Kirasparkles]

I started sculpting because of you and it’s so much fun…but the next morning, the curse of chronic pain and arthritis kicked in and my hands were on fiiiah! I found compression gloves helped the best. Set a timer on your phone so you get bounced out of hyper focus before your back starts to heat up enough to be in a Japanese restaurant as the cook surface.

[@GoddesSilverRose]

I deal with chronic pain myself. I understand hunny. Take your time. I'm sending you love and care.

[@lacibrooks1618]

Hi Jackie sending so much love light and positivity ur way 🖤🖤 ilyyy

[@jessiejudd9513]

omg they are so cute 😍 I think my favorite is the wolf. I love how it has a fork and knife haha. I'm excited to know you are going to sculpt again and we get to see what you are making. I love seeing your sculpting they are always so cool and I want my sculpture from you craft kit to come out as good as that.. its been a real challenge. Thank you for bring a smile to my face this morning! your awesome Jackie!!

[@IHeartGallery]

I absolutely LOVE these types of unboxings! I love all their lines of figurines but can't afford them, so seeing you unbox them is so dang cool!!! Also congratulations on your BlackMagic!!! How amazing!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

I always enjoy watching you!! I'm super happy you have figured out a way to do sculpting safely!! 👏👏 I miss watching you craft with clay and epoxy! 💖 Plus, I think it was therapeutic for you! 💞 I hope the plan works! Those little critters are so cute! 😍 I think I like the swan best, but it is a hard choice!! Take care of yourself! You are the one and only Jackie! The world would be more dull without you!🤗

[@heatherdavidson2345]

I'm new to your channel and I have to say I'm loving everything you've created. I can actually watch it with my kids and they eat it up. I've started in on my husband about getting me some sophie and toffee subscription boxes. I hope your back is doing better. Sending healing vibes!

[@debiscott8232]

Love your videos and you always make me smile even when you're trying to be salty thank you Jackie x

[@michealamarshall9534]

I love the baby dragon the best. It's sooo cute...

[@Louise-tv9kk]

I love the frog one, it is so cute. I am looking forward to watching your videos on sculpting. Nice gift too...very snazzy camera. 🙂

[@sharkgoddess]

The frog prince and the baby dragon are the cutest!! 😍

[@alexandram.2714]

Love ya. Take care of yourself. I can't sit for any longer than an hour or so without my back starting to take the brunt of my hyper focus. Do short videos, and we'll definitely be hyper-watching!

[@KrisWilliams1969]

Omg I love the dragon,, sculpture time.. it’s gorgeous!!!

[@stephaniewarren4197]

So lucky, you got the 3 best ones! Big bad wolf, frog, and dragon. They are all so cute

[@perfumedelight66]

I love the purple eyes on the dragon. 💜

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

Yes! I have high functioning Aspergers, and one of the things for me is my hyper focusing. I'm an adult living with my mom and she helps keep me on track. Like, a few hours a day I can do whatever so long as I can get things done around the house. Otherwise I'd be sitting at my art desk all day long and think it's only been an hour. Like that meme "Wait... what century is this?" Also, my selective dyslexia kicked in and I misread Dimo as Amiibo xD

[@jessicaallen8498]

Im so excited that you are doing what you love please take your time I am not a sculpturer however however 💗... I started small and have enjoyed doing some small details on my gnomes

[@colleenchavez524]

I'm so proud of you that you are taking steps to get back to something you love. It can be frustrating when it isn't the same as it was, and I'm so impressed by your resolve to try on your own terms. I look forward to future imperfect crafty hangouts. ❤

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

🥺❤️

[@reneeallen3569]

I’ll be sculpting and think..I’m tired. Once I do this one last thing, I’ll go to bed. Next time I look up…it’s sunrise. So I do understand. I’ll be so stiff! And the next week of pain… it’s worth it to me…sometimes lol

[@paranoiarpincess]

I freaking LOVE Popmart stuff and so wish I had the funds and room to collect them, but I already collect so much stuff that I barely have room for as it is.

[@prettyfacedki]

Hi jackie you are an amazing sculpture

[@Ms.Cats-if.you.please]

Dragon baby was the one I was hoping you would get it!! It’s so adorable! ❤️❤️❤️

[@korralorraine3087]

I would suggest getting a stand up desk. I used to do call center work and have problems with my neck and back. So we had desks that our monitors were at eye level standing. The keyboard was on an adjustable arm. We had talk chairs if you need to sit so you didn’t have to bend your neck. Hope this helps. 💜

[@majesticmythicalsart7563]

I totally feel you with sculpting hurting I love to sculpt but I also have adhd and get super focused. I am have slap tear surgery in a week to fix my shoulder so hopefully I can sculpt again soon. Love your sculptures though!

[@aussiecrafter]

Looking forward to you sharing your sculpting with us again😁😁

[@cocourtnae-9325]

I have hyper focus too. When I do projects for hours, it feels like minutes lol. I love taking my time and not feeling like I’m doing a “chore” which is how should feel 💖 can’t wait to see the new space!

[@vezhopkins714]

Would love more sculpting!! It’s what I first watched you for ❤️

[@creatingwithshanna8454]

Those are so cute! Can’t wait to see you sculpt! Take care!!!

[@jlouisa]

I love the pop mart! I love the bunny run that they have. I have an entire collection of them.

[@GenuineLhachwen]

I have major back/chronic pain issues-- try a corset or core type brace (lumbar sacral) while you do intensive activities as you may find it helps by adding needed support.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Want the swan and the frog, have always had a thing for both. Ooohhh, new camera very nice

[@Voirreydirector]

Very brave, my dear. I can’t thank you enough for your inspiration, I have drawn upon it heavily this week.

[@blackrose538]

Ooohhh, I'm excited about this! :) I decided to get the whole set of the Harry Potter (series 2) Popmart figurines, because I love the anime/Manga style and they're just adorable. Just waiting for them to arrive really.

[@procreatebasics]

As someone with ADD, may I suggest a kitchen timer? I use the traditional manual-with-a-bell type and I set it for 45 min... when I hear the ding, I have to stop my project and go on to something else.

[@LaynieFingers]

I am absolutely the same... I used to work with polymer clay a lot. I would cover real eggs with a thin veneer of clay, and it would take a lot of sanding to get them as smooth as I wanted them. On multiple occasions I got so into sanding that I literally sanded my fingerprints off. I wouldn't notice until I was actually bleeding! I'll think it's been 20 or 30 minutes when it's actually been 7 hours.

[@wandaXmaximoff]

Those Pop Mart figures are adorable. I’m tempted to buy some now.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

I have the same thing crafting, five hours seems like fifty minutes 😅 What I found that helps my posture is having my table at the right hight and a foot stool. Oh and put a timer on 💡😁

[@bordercollielover9360]

Holy shrimp these little figures are so stinking cute! I can’t wait to see you sculpt agen, you do amazing work!

[@jaynedavis3388]

I absolutely have hyper focus. Sometimes I don’t eat, drink, use the bathroom or even move for hours at a time* when I’m working on a piece of digital art (because I can do that in bed so it’s less painful). Sometimes it happens when I’m just looking at someone else’s art. If I find someone new on Instagram, I’m going through their entire catalogue of previous art. It’s a bit of a problem but I don’t do anything about it because that hyper focus is sometimes the only thing that can get me through a pain episode (I call them attacks) without ending up in the Emergency Department (ER for Amerigrains). * I think my record is like 18 hours? I know I do 6 hours regularly

[@caradanellemcclintock8178]

what's helped me with crafting back and neck aches is to get a lap tray for laptops you get ones that you can adjust the angle then sit in a comfy fluffy chair its a bit more ergonomic I i do it with drawing sculpting even sewing it might work for you?

[@onrykiten]

I have that same issue when I’m crafting or doing my art. I have a messed up back and neck and if I do it too long no matter how hard I try I hurt after wards. And I always loose track of time lol

[@missyb5255]

Such a cute video ... Love it ... And you do you while sculpting ... Don't want you to hurt ... Cuz yes I have done the same thing ... You truly get into it until your body says 'you can't ignore me anymore' lol ... Hope you have fun and definitely pace yourself ... Much love Jackie and say hi to Sika as well ❤❤❤

[@miswelch1]

OMG!! I love these so much.......so much fun!!

[@AmysAnarchy]

I'm part of the way through but always look after yourself first lovely. We love your content but always at your own pace!!! Also that camera is GORGEOUS :P

[@HerosMuse]

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!! Getting back into art! especially if it's just for you, art is a human experience and everyone should do a little something for themselves!

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

Can’t wait to share with y’all

[@Dfordahlia-lg2ky]

Words cant describe how much i love you and i find so much comfort in you

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

🥺❤️❤️

[@redver14]

Im going to buy some clay as i have been so inspired by the sculptures in your ' youtuber to monster seires'!

[@Tiggzie]

I love this style of video, Jackie!! My brain usually struggles to stay focused on youtube videos, but this style and layout is really helpful! Keeps my mind busy :))

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

I’m glad you like them! These are vlog style so they are more chill

[@Tiggzie]

@@NerdEJackieVlogs aaaaaa you replied!! Thank you- I love you and your videos so much! Will you be doing videos with Sika again anytime soon? :))

[@shana_bobana3501]

I think making a sculpting space is such a great idea. ❤️

[@vivijd14]

You could try oil paint? (You have no choice to let it dry 1 day between layers, so ‘obligatory break’ are included 😅)

[@vivijd14]

I’d love to see you try a fantasy twist to Bob Ross 🤩🐉🌳☁️

[@vickygruber6030]

It's so strange that you mention starting to sculpt again cos I've recently been watching your videos wishing you would sculpt more and it seems my wishes are coming true. Can't wait!

[@DogFlamingoXIII]

If you use your phone and set alarms when you are going to work on a long project, it helps greatly. Set an alarm for an hour (or 45 minutes or whatever), and when it goes off, take a break to stretch and rest. Then set the alarm again before you begin working again. That way you don't have to try to focus on time management while you're trying to focus on working, and it makes you take breaks for your body. I have chronic pain issues as well, and I have to do this for different tasks. I have about a half a dozen alarms set just for an average day to make sure I do things I'm supposed to do, and I just set more when I'm trying to work on something. My phone even lets me add a vocal message, so I am more forced to pay attention. So I might have an alarm set in the morning, and it rings and then says, "Make sure to take your medication; it's 10 o'clock".

[@ashleighcrowe966]

I am like this. I have a small sculpting business and when im not in class i sit and sculpt and what starts as a 30 minute sanding session turns in 6 hrs later and i have a new sculpture to sell lol

[@dbandia]

With ya, Sistah! Paying the price right now. Herniated a disc because I lost track of time. NO FUN!

[@whoisjai]

Maybe you should try sculpting standing up, they have desks that have a button to raise and lower. Also set timers every hour or two so you can take a break and stretch!

[@maiadion557]

Crst une super bonne idee Jackie...des mini video de tes progres ou si tu veux une opinion de nous YOUR GRAINNNSSS pour continuer ta sculpture...un peu comme les lives...tu pourrais faire des polls pour certains choix! Et on verrait les résultats du sondages dans le prochain mini video de la progression..10-4 ..roger😻

[@amandagermany5933]

Love the progress idea for the sculpting. Also, where were these figures when I was a little grain obsessively collecting everything? Congrats on the camera, I remember the joy when I unboxed my Nikon D90 years ago and it was like a kid at Christmas!

[@Dragon_Jewelz]

i do the same thing i sit to long while working on my crafts which in trun makes my legs swell ALOT! sooo i got an hour glass to sit on my desk to remind myself to get up and move around. plus is so pretty to look at! and because im so extra my hour glass looks like it belongs in a vamp castle lol i could set a timer on my phone but when it goes off i jump lol

[@pjelly633]

I managed to get hold of some glow in the dark cos clay 😁 I made a tree with glow in the dark flowers

[@audi2121]

I'm excited for that, I like seeing your creation. Also would something like a standing/adjustable desk help you out?

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

Standing hurts more tbh

[@BirdandCruCreations]

Sounds like a great idea to blend a little sculpting content back in without over-doing. 💕

[@KrisWilliams1969]

So so happy about that, but I knew you couldn’t do it for hours at a time because of your back, I wouldn’t want you to undo the progress you’ve done, but I knew you might do like you said you would do it, but I am happy and I don’t mind the way you’re going to be doing it, you need to take care of yourself and your health..🤗🤗

[@jessicaplane9231]

😍 ah such a pretty camera😍So excited for you to try it out! red ridinghood or secret.

[@jenajinx]

I for one LOVE sculpting and arting videos! I can't wait to see what you do with the projects you are up to :D

[@2010NoMora]

Omg I am getting inspired

[@2010NoMora]

I been wanting to paint and play with clay

[@2010NoMora]

I love the wolf

[@Tuxedo_Trouble]

Hey Jackie I have a art project you should review. Breyer blind bag paint your own model. I have so many and i love them. The brush is actually really good for how cheap the product is and you can use your own paints if you want. Something I would just like to see you review

[@_TheRoseCrow]

I think the mystery is the queen of hearts!

[@cdelosre2006]

I actually got some of these blind boxes from PopMart. I got pack of 3. They are very unique in the art style compared to the Unicorno blind boxes that I also adore.

[@Zeldur]

If you don't want to keep the sculptures, monster clay may work if you just want to have fun. Just using a microwave and hot air gun will make it super soft. It will harden up quite a but as it cools though
