About

We are Emily & Anushka. We are two teenagers who are obsessed with making things and looking to opening even further the aspect of creativity in our lives. As an art blog we wish for Idle Dreaming to help us channel and share our discoveries with you. In an age where technology rules all we want to promote using it for positive means, to enhance gathering of knowlege; when children spend hours engrossed with the television rather than story-books we want to state for once and for all that art is not for idle dreamers.

We truly believe... that art is photography, fashion, knitting, embroidery, sculpture, textiles, drawing and anything else which forces one to create using the heart and the mind, whilst making with one's hands and one's eyes.

Emily likes...
the things: black and white photos, pink, eclectic clothes, and charcoal pencils.
the places: thrift shops of most any sort, my room-there i can be alone to think, and sitting on the grass in the public park on a sunny day.
the crafts: designing and sewing clothes, drawing, photography, and a bit of knitting.
the techniques: stenciling and attempting to screen-print
In very few words, Emily thinks that she is... a little bit of everything.
Emily lives... in a little town in Colorado - but I like to imagine myself somewhere like NYC.

Anushka likes...
the things: drawing ink, hand-dyed yarn, fountain pens and pretty shoes which fit.
the places: Vancouver when the cherry-trees blossom. Hyde Park on a Summer's Day. And the Tate Modern because they let you sit on the bench for hours drawing the sculptures and don't tell you to bugger off. They also let you spend hours in the shop pretending to be selecting magazines when really you are reading them really really quickly so that you don't have to fork out eight quid for something you don't really need.
the crafts: knitting, sewing, crude hand-embroidery and papier mache.
the techniques: ink wash
In very few words, Anushka thinks that she is... Foremost a writer.
Anushka Lives... in London, England (though would prefer to be elsewhere)
