For those who are interested, here are the winners in the manufactured category. Kudos, too, to Sue Van Nattan, the artist who won "Best in Show."

Many thanks to all who attended the event in Vegas (when I find my camera, I'll show you some pix) and, of course, to everyone who entered the contest, judged, voted, and generally supported the contest. We couldn't do it without you!

(Thanks, too, for your patience in waiting for the winner list. I went straight from Vegas to the beach, so was without computer for 10 days. Once I recovered from the initial separation anxiety, it was glorious.)
