Cutting New Lino Block

I have started to make linoleum blocks.  Again.  I made many of these a long time ago but when I was introduced to printmaking the method of making prints was trace prints and monoprints.  

The subject matter in lino-cuts has been Blockheads but the picture included, showing me at work in my studio, is one of my imaginary vessel studies.
