To transfer an image to a lino block for printing, you can use a technique called "image transfer." First, print or draw your image on a piece of paper. Then, place the paper with the image face down on the lino block and rub the back of the paper with a spoon or a burnisher. This will transfer the image onto the lino block. Finally, you can carve the image into the lino block using carving tools to create your printing block.
