Project: Linoleum print tutorial!
I'm a huge fan of printmaking, especially linocuts, because you don't need a lot of equipment or money to make some really beautiful prints.

If you want to try linoleum prints on for size, check out Dick Blick's printmaking supplies. All you need to get started is a linoleum block (I find mounted ones are easier to deal with), a linoleum cutter, some water-based ink, a brayer for rolling the ink and some paper. (There's a basic kit for sale for $15.99 here.)
Here's a two-color linocut of mine from a while back:
