How I created my Lino Print
The he first thing I did was draw out my design onto the Lino piece, I chose to go with Big Ben as it relates to my theme of London and is a popular landmark. After I drew it onto my piece of Lino I used the Lino cutting tool and carved out all of the lines of my drawing, I used a smaller Lino cutting tool for the small details. After I completed this I then used ink and a roller and rolled different colours of ink over my Lino Piece. I then put my Lino onto the Albion press and laid a piece of paper on top, i then pressed them down onto each other so that the link printed onto the paper leaving a nice glossy colourful print. I then did it again experimenting with different colours and also using one colour for one half and a different colour for the other half to make a creative half&half print.

Well done your CPLAD and step by step for lino is great but you must add examples of your lino prints to this post to finish it!
