To start with you have to do a traceing of a image that you would like to do a linocutting for, so in this case I choose a bit of london that creates a skyline to cut out and make into a print for Lino. So the image above this paragraph is infact my traceing of the image that I will use when cutting out my Lino.
This is my final image of the linocut, first of all you get the traced image of what ever you have and draw onto the paper onto the Lino, once the image is their you can cut into it with your Lino cutting tool.First i did the outline of the buildings which in that some had different widths so with that you will have to use different lino cuttings tools or just change the end of the one you have already.

You have described the lino cutting task well here - however you must add images of your prints to finish this post! Also make sure you delete some of the large spaces between text and imagery.
