Edging towards the first print

I thought I would start with a lino print. I am familiar with the genre having taught many young people to do it in the past. There is something new on the market called "flexicut" though this afternoon I bought "softcut vinyl". This appears to be the preferred material of the time. It is soft and very flexible and is described as " buttery". It is also a soft creamy colour. Obviously I have never used it and I am all anticipation.
I took out my old cutting tools and found them in a cloth pouch made by a past pupil. Many memories flooded through me. The design is almost fixed but I am not yet happy with the inks that I have. I want to use something translucent so that I can overlay shapes in the manner of a silkscreen. My art supplier is sourcing a suitable medium.
