Linocut

I received these Linocut tools and ink for my birthday in January. Thank you in-laws! Not really sure where to start and slightly lacking in inspiration I bought Learning Linocut by Susan Yeates. The book got great reviews on Amazon so as I have an hour to kill before school pick up I'm going to start reading. I'm a bit apprehensive because the last time I did any linocut was in junior school and most of the class had to go to the office to get a plaster for their cut fingers. It's a good job Ruby has the Hello Kitty plasters!
