  1. I think cutting on linoleum is fun, but also really hard. It is difficult putting enough pressure on the block to not let the blade slip. Overall, it is pretty fun!

  2. I think the the linoleum cutting is the most difficult part, but I am excited to see how it will come together in the end. Also in my opinion, I think that it is hard to not let the blade slip when cutting, and the woman in the video made it look like it was very easy.

  6. As of right now I don't agree with the women in the video on cutting being the best part but I haven't figured out how to control the cutter well and she made it seem easier than I find it to be. But I'm excited to see how they turn out when we ink them and finish.

  13. This video makes cutting the linoleum look really easy. I think it just gets easier over time. I also thought that the tip about twisting the blade was helpful.

  15. I think the video made linoleum cutting look easy, but in reality it is very hard. I have learned how i need to cut from different sized blades to reach the dimension I want in my picture. I overall really like it and think the cut outs add a really nice affect! - Abbie Burns

  17. After we started cutting linoleum, I feel that it is quite different from carving on a stone to make a stamp, which I have done before, but both of them require control. Cindy Fei

  18. While linoleum cutting can be tedious and labor intensive, once you become somewhat proficient at it, it becomes one of the most gratifying activities we've done so far.

  21. I think the hardest part of the linoleum cutting is judging how much to cut away and controlling the cut as it goes through the material. Overall I hope that the linoleum cuts end up as cool as the picture I started with.

  23. The video was really long but linoleum cutting is very hard. The hardest part is controlling the cutter. I have not been getting smooth cuts but scrape.
