Some things made here at Pimento Press, a Division of Olfactory Gleanings. More things made soon! #studioactivity #worknotwork #printing #drawing #pimentos #olives #letterpress #pressureprinting #legoprinting
10 years ago today Dave Parella and I got married on the Lebanon NH green—in an ice storm, with a washer and a nut as our rings (second photo). So after a stupid-happy decade I’m changing my name to Sarah Marcella Parella. My middle name with Parella is just too entertaining—I might have to insist on everyone using all 3 names! #10years #funname #newname
In an attempt to get cases to fill out a 3/4 cabinet I have—and am putting type in—I ended up buying another incomplete cabinet for the cases. What to do with the “extra” cabinet? Turn it into a bar of course! #pimentopress #letterpresshacks #typecabinettweak #letterpressbar #typebar
First print off the press in the new studio—now known as Pimento Press (note red studio on olive greenish house). Beautifully working Vandercook #4 thanks to the invaluable help of Perry Tymeson aka @suitcasepress !! I had so much fun and learned a ton from Perry. I think he had fun rummaging through my dad’s drawers of screws, bolts, switches etc too. Also stupid-happy about the working on/off light!!! #vandercook4 #presstuneup #letterpressstudio #pimento #pimentopress #yay!
The big move(s) is done! Everything is in the studio now!!! Nothing bad happened. Board shear is fine and Vandercook and Golding are happy. Thanks to everyone who calmed my nerves over the past weeks. Phew! And now set up and start making stuff! #studiomove #letterpressheavy #somuchheavystuff #vandercook4
More scenes from PBI. It was an amazing time—spending time with so many old and new friends, including a solid UArts crew.

Papermaking looks great in videos, but here’s a few pics from 4 days of papermaking with Andrea Peterson. Last shot is our fabulous Team Sisal! #pbi2023 #paperbookintensive #papermaking #gettingmessy #makingoaperbythelagoon #sisal
