FULL ENGLISH VERSION
Greetings, lovely people of #HiveDIY. I'm still inspired by all kinds of 💜 **Hearts** 💜, and this time I'm bringing you a **Linked Heart**. I saw this image on Pinterest and it seemed like a *heart lock*, but to put it more correctly, it's more like intertwined links that form a heart. I really liked the idea, so I'm sharing it with you. The image I used as a guide was the following:
Then I finished by tracing the corresponding vertical lines for the first or middle link of the heart. So I start with the first three squares outlined vertically.
Now I leave a space in between and continue making two parallel lines of three squares each. I repeat this four times and finally close the line horizontally, always leaving a square in between.
For the second link, I made the one in the middle vertically as well. Note that I left the same amount of space between each three squares.
I'll now continue with the side links, using the image from the beginning as a guide. This part was a bit tricky for me; in fact, I made a mistake at one point, but I'll let you know when I corrected it.
I continued like this for my fourth link. If you notice a slight difference between my drawing and the one I used as a guide, it's because I'm leaving more space outside the side links, both at the top and on each side when I need to do it horizontally. At this point, I hadn't yet noticed the error.
It was in this step that I noticed the mistake with the *third link*. If you compare the photo above with this one below, you'll notice that the third link should have been one space lower. That is, I started with the same guide: 3 squares, then a space, 3 more squares, then another space, and so on, 4 times.
If you do it correctly, you'll notice that the third link should have one of its lines right in the middle of the center link and be even with the center link's spacing and its second line.
I noticed this mistake because, since I added an extra space at the top, I didn't notice it until after I started the horizontal lines. For this point, I'm going to group the images together to make the step-by-step process easier.
|**I finished the top lines first and then moved on to the bottom lines.** |**This is the continuation** |**Here there are a few horizontal lines missing to complete the Heart** |

|**In this image we only need to add the last link.** |**Here are all the links** |**And here what I did was highlight all the lines in black, for better contrast** |

Now, the next step is the coloring. Coloring it is easier, and I used a total of six colors: Pink, Fuchsia, Orange, Red, Green, and Light Blue.
For a better explanation, I'll leave the images in a box so you can see how I colored it. This part was really simple since you just have to follow the link from start to finish. You can't get lost.

Now the Red color follows, leaving it as follows:
I ended up with the blue, leaving the following as the final result:
As you know, I don't like to leave my drawings blank; I like to make sure everything has some color. In this case, the colors I used between the links clash, between orange, red, and fuchsia. That is, they don't show the details I'd like.
So I decided to add black to one part. But I got stuck halfway, so the final result will be for a second part. For now, I'm sharing it with you like this. I hope you like it. What did you think? I'll read them in the comments! See you in my next post! 💚
