Lino Printing

Lino printing is a lovely way to print although it can be a lengthy process, I just did a quick little one, more like a stamp.
You will need:

Lino block
Lino cutting tools 
Block printing ink
Tile 
Rollers
Pencil
Scissors 
1. First you need to draw or print your image, and trace it onto your lino block, soft is the easiest to use. 
2. Using a lino cutting tool cut out all of the image that you don't want to print.
3. Using a flat piece of plastic or a tile roll out some block printing ink. 
4. Using a roller, roll some ink onto your image. 
5. Lay the image onto your paper or fabric and using a clean roller, roll over the back of your Lino to get and even print. 
6. You can cut into your Lino again and re print over the top of the first image to create a two color print.
