2001, Designed by Cheri
Sicard, this doll was made from a sock dressed in paper
doilies, and the business cards of a recently defunct partnership
that ended on less than amicable terms. A dried apple face, leftover
from Halloween, served as the head (follow
link for instructions ). Inside the doll were symbols of other
things wanted to be rid of in the New Year, in this case sugar
and butter, representing unhealthy eating habits and a few personal
mementos.

2001, Designed by Mitch
Mandell and constructed from an old mailing tube, the inside
of this effigy was stuffed with personal messages of things to be
left behind in the New Year. The arms and hair were made of the
same business cards that dressed Cheri's doll (left).

2001, Pam Hughes constructed this chubby but beautiful
doll from paper and tongue depressors. Can you guess from the
doll's figure what Pam was hoping to leave behind in the coming
year?

2001, Tom and Susan Conley created this doll
of twigs and a pine cone. Professional magician Tom filled the interior
with some creative pyrotechnic effects that dazzled the crowd as
it burned (he's a professional, don't try this at home kids).

2001, Sarah Conley created this paper masterpiece
from notes from a particulary disliked class. While unfortunately
the photo didn't come out, Sarah's brother Nicholas, a UCLA
chemical engineering student, took a similar theme for his effigy,
creating a geometric paper cube made from class notes.

2001, Tracy Burnes used paper plates for the
head of this effigy and rolled up bills (representing debt) for
the body. The writing that comprised the mouth of the doll and outlines
the edges are personal notes of negativity and bad habits to be
left behind.
