In our December issue now on newsstands, we showcase over 50 things that are hand made in L.A. Now we are giving them away. Each week of this month we’ll be awarding a prize from one of the featured businesses. Check out our current contest (hint: it will get you in the holiday spirit) then come back next week to see who won, highlights from the entries, and your next chance to win.

Call it a renaissance: The 15th-century craft of letterpress printing is being adapted to the Twitter age.

At Soolip, Wanda Wen adds feminine twists: pressed flowers and hand stitching.
