In her free time during her "form"
class at school Hazel often spends her time doodling. This is her
most recent doodle, on the back of a scrap of A4 paper. Wonder what a psychologist would make of it?
Jenny's Birthday
16 January 2012
Hazel made Jenny a rather marvellous
small comic book for her birthday this year. It is set in Jenny's flat
in Glasgow (which has a transparent dome in the ceiling), involves
popcorn and chilli (her favourites) and also involves her neighbours, whose son collects Harry Potter wands.

Spiral Doodle
19 October 2011
For the last two years Hazel has been
working, on and off, on this spiral doodle. She has kept it in her
"unfinished things" file to return to. Now it is done.
Daddy's Birthday
9 October 2011
For his birthday this year Hazel made
daddy a chrysalis in which were stashed several home made cookies in the
shape of butterflies. The chrysalis is based on that of Nelson, who stayed with us a few months ago. The cookies were really yummy and the chryalis itself looked marvellous.
Father's Day
20 June 2011
For Father's Day this year Hazel made daddy a moth, complete with video camera mounted on its wing:
...and a card that represents his most recent purchase, a watch that
doubles as a mobile phone (the blue lozenge is visible through a
cut-out on the front page). Proper Dick Tracy stuff.

Stylophone
16 June 2011
Daddy recently bought Hazel a Stylophone, instrument of the early seventies. First she messed around with the voices.
Then she was inspired by Brett Domino to attempt a Rolling In The Deep cover with music video.
Leo's Birthday
27 April 2011
Hazel has spent the last year writing Leo an 80-page guide to the
High School, which he will be attending after the summer. She
gave
it to him for his birthday this year; click on the icons below
to read it (in four segments).
She also made him a sort of pop-up birthday card. She made
it in school, so it would usually not be allowed on her gallery, but
she did make it for Leo, so
we're letting it in. Click on
the
image below to see her describe it.
Mood Music
21 April 2011
Hazel recorded her latest thang with
Mr Matthews today. Here it is:
We also had a bit of a fight with our waterpistols, which Hazel
decided to video with Jenny's waterproof camera for dramatic effect:
Half Term Holiday Makings
23 February 2011
Hazel and Leo were bored at the start
of the half term holiday and decided to make a film based on two
characters they had made up while chatting at bed time: Captain Sheep
and Lady Smile Pop. As is normal, it somewhat difficult to follow
but they do a good job of swapping characters. Equally usually, there is a bloopers
and outtakes reel:
Christmas Song
18 January 2011
Hazel made up this Christmas song
which she performed in her music class at school towards the end of
last term. She is singing of wanting to still be a child at
Christmas.
Presents
18 January 2011
Hazel has made various Christmas
presents and Jenny's birthday present over the last few weeks. As
a Christmas present for daddy she made a T-shirt, harking back to a
previous Father's Day present:
For mummy she made a chocolate box:
For Leo she made a T-shirt also, this time echoing his favourite saying:
For Jenny, meanwhile, she made an extremely full album of photo's, so
full that it's too difficult to display here.
Then for Jenny's birthday she made, at Jenny's request, another T-shirt
reflecting Jenny's favourite things:
Vlog
9 January 2011
Hazel and her friends take it in turns to make video blogs which
they don't usually publish to others. However, she rather liked
doing this musical one and so it is available here:
