I have a class on Thursday in which I am teaching the streaking technique. For some reason, I thought I knew what this was, but have discovered that it is something entirely different than what I was thinking! I don't own re-inkers! HELP! is there some other way to do this without the re-inkers, or am I going to have to tell my club gals that I goofed?
Thanks,
Trish

Trish- I'm not sure i know what you are talking about..i have never used re- inkers here is the method i use for streaking..
STREAKING
Thoroughly apply ink to a rubber stamp. Stamp the stamping surface (do not use glossy paper!). Without lifting the stamp from the stamping surface, pull it in the opposite direction of the way the image should appear to be going. This streaking effect gives the illusion of motion.
i use this method with stamps that can have a motion attributed to it. Please let me know the method you are referring to as i am now curious and would love to try it out.
But when I looked it up here on SCS, all I got was a link that talked about rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, re-inkers, baby wipes and glossy paper... which I thought was called something else...
Now I am really confused because I obviously DID hear it the way you do it SOMEWHERE, I could not have just made that up. Oh dear. LOL. I am in so deep with this one, I swear.

i was doing a class and we were doing some brayer techniques..well the first technique was where i took rubber bands and placed them on the brayer. I'm telling them about the brayer and why i like it when this girl says "OH i love my brayer i use it all the time" i'm thinking great she's gonna pump them up right...
well i started putting rubber bands on the bar and she is like "what are you doing?" so i told her it was part of the technique. She was stumped..i go to ink it up and she is even more stumped...so then i asked her at that point "Well, what do you use your brayer for" her response
"I use it to crisp the fold"
I wanted to laugh sooooo bad, but i held it in and said "Well, yes that is one way to use it, though i prefer the bone folder."
In stampers' Showcase there was a card using On Angel Wings and bleach.This card is no longer there since this set has been retired but she gave the following directions. "To create the look of this card ink the angel with bleach, stamp and drag the image to the edge of the card stock. Stamp again with ink over the bleached angel image." she used Rose Red Cardstock and Rose Red ink. Iwouldn't stamp with ink right away since the bleach takes a little while to work.
See, but all of the gallery samples are of the marble technique (as I learned it) not what I am thinking the Streaking technique is. Sigh. I wish I had never said i'd teach them this stupid technique! LOL.

When I think streaking, I think of the motion cards...like the Trike Card featured on page 16 of On Stage vol 6, issue 2. Perhaps it goes by a different name than streaking? I say do the technique you know and just let them know you mistakingly used the wrong term for it. If you can't find the real name for the technique, just make one up...like "implied motion"
My aunt tells me the rubbing alcohol with re-inkers and cotton balls on glossy cardstock is called "marbling" So...maybe there IS a new technique to try?
There is a technique called marbling that uses alcohol and reinkers, but it is more of a pouncing and you use metallic ink afterwards.
Streaking is just a pulling action with the reinkers so you get streaks instead of splotches. Here is a link to a card that does it: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers I'm sure there are more if you do a search
Streaking help.... :(
