    The Colony of Artists down in Leith were having an open doors weekend, so we popped along to check out their work.

    It was a little intimidating going into strangers houses and felt a little like Halloween but I loved seeing all the artwork.

    I loved this artists portraits.

    The colonies are such cute little streets, so it was nice to peek inside the houses and meet all of the neighbourhood cats.

      We stopped for lunch at the Century General Store where there were so many cute things I wanted to buy in their shop.

      I had a filo and spinach pastry which was tasty and the coffee was really good too.

      We popped into the Process Studios afterwards to see Nicole and where she works.

      The artist studios are based inside an old school and I had fun keeping an eye out for the original features around the building.

      You can take screen printing workshops here and it was interesting to see what everyone had been printing.

      We found Nicole at her Crafta La Vista stall, selling babywear that you can colour in at home. I wish she would make them in adult sizes too!

      She let us take a sneek peek behind the scenes at her adorable craft desk.

      She introduced us to a few of her neighbours in the studio too. One was an hat maker who had some amazing designs and a "hand bag" made out of the arm of a mannequin.

      On the other side of the room was an artist who made incredible masks by heating and twisting leather. She also had a huge devil throne which she had made herself. We got chatting about how I'd like to tattoo a leather satchel and she gave me some scraps to take home and practise on.
