✦ It's time for a new project! It's just the beginning but it's the first time I'm sharing on Hive one of my Cosplay processes from scratch in actual time, unlike previous times where I've shared files only when the projects were already finished. And as always, throughout this post you will find all the mentions of the images used as references. Thanks for joining me! Let's see how this evolves in the following weeks ✦

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ ~ Cuando voluntariamente caΓ­ en el delicioso infierno del danmei sabΓ­a que este serΓ­a un amor complicado y de larga data. TambiΓ©n sabΓ­a que enamorarme del diseΓ±o de alguno de sus personajes era tan inminente como que el cielo es azul.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ ~ When I voluntarily fell into the delicious hell of danmei I knew this would be a complicated and long-standing love affair. I also knew that falling in love with the design of one of its characters was as imminent as the sky is blue.

Cuando eres un Cosplayer que elabora sus propios Cosplays al 100%, casi de forma automΓ‘tica tu cerebro descompone el diseΓ±o de los personajes que vez en pelΓ­culas, comics o series, Β‘nadie se salva de tu escrutinio!; pero los saltos culturales representan un reto absolutamente desafiante, "ΒΏquieres hacer una imitaciΓ³n de lo que miras en la pantalla, o quieres hacer un traje real?."

When you are a Cosplayer who makes your own Cosplays 100%, almost automatically your brain breaks down the design of the characters you see in movies, comics or series, no one is spared from your scrutiny!; but the cultural leaps represent an absolutely challenging challenge, "do you want to make an imitation of what you see on the screen, or do you want to make a real costume?."

✦ I spent two days with trigeminal neuralgia and what a horrible thing, I made a mess of my sewing room and Galatea kept throwing things off the desk; I swear that when I feel recovered I will clean everything very carefully! ✦

Siempre me planteo "ΒΏcΓ³mo se verΓ­a este personaje en la vida real?" cuando decido agregarlo a mi lista de proyectos (en idioma Cosplayer, "Cosplans"), la frase por si sola puede sonar presuntuosa si no conoces a la persona, porque es fΓ‘cil decirlo y en esta era digital donde las apariencias y la creaciΓ³n de expectativas que nunca o mediana o mediocremente se concretan estΓ‘n a la orden del dΓ­a, hacer esa aseveraciΓ³n puede generar rechazo, y lo entiendo muy bien.

I always ask myself "how would this character look like in real life?" when I decide to add it to my list of projects (in Cosplayer language, "Cosplans"), the phrase itself may sound presumptuous if you do not know the person, because it is easy to say and in this digital age where appearances and the creation of expectations that never or medium or mediocrely materialize are the order of the day, making that statement can generate rejection, and I understand it very well.

✦ In less than 10 days the new season of the animated adaptation will be released. The whole fandom is celebrating! ✦

Si me sigues hace un tiempo o conoces mi trabajo, sabrΓ‘s que ese no es mi caso. Y esa ha sido mi principal quimera desde que me enamore de "Xie Lian", el protagonista de la novela "Tian Guan Ci Fu" (Heaven Official's Blessing) de Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (ε’¨ι¦™ι“œθ‡­); me he enamorado loca y perdidamente de este personaje, que si bien tiene un largo repertorio de atuendos, todos distan mucho de lo que he confeccionado hasta ahora; las prendas chinas de todos los personajes en este libro son holgadas, de telas ligeras y multicapas, cada pieza con una razΓ³n de ser, un nombre, un propΓ³sito y un tipo de tela especifico.

If you've been following me for a while or know my work, you'll know that's not my case. And that has been my main pipe dream ever since I fell in love with "Xie Lian", the protagonist of the novel "Tian Guan Ci Fu" (Heaven Official's Blessing) by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (ε’¨ι¦™ι“œθ‡­); I have fallen madly and hopelessly in love with this character, who while he has a long repertoire of outfits, they are all far from what I have made so far; the Chinese garments of all the characters in this book are loose-fitting, of light, multilayered fabrics, each piece with a reason for being, a name, a purpose and a specific type of fabric.

✦ I am facing a new challenge ✦

Β‘Y YO NO TENGO IDEA DE LA RAZΓ“N DE SER DE CADA UNA DE ESAS PIEZAS, NI SU NOMBRE NI SU PROPOSITO NI EL TIPO DE TELA QUE DEBE SER CADA UNA!, eso es un gran problema para mi porque esa informaciΓ³n es VITAL para comprender el personaje, despuΓ©s de todo, la ropa evoca sentimientos en nosotros, estados anΓ­micos, influye en nosotros mas de lo que creemos, y si quiero ser Xie Lian, necesito entender las ropas que usa Xie Lian.

AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT EVERY ONE OF THOSE PIECES IS FOR, NOR THEIR NAME OR PURPOSE OR WHAT TYPE OF FABRIC EACH ONE SHOULD BE!, that's a big problem for me because that information is VITAL to understanding the character, after all, clothes evoke feelings in us, moods, they influence us more than we think, and if I want to be Xie Lian, I need to understand the clothes Xie Lian wears.

✦ I found this super nice documentary about the resurgence of Hanfu in China and its adaptation to be used today. It is very beautiful! I like to watch documentaries like this for inspiration ✦

Entonces si, este es un proyecto que he retrasado bastante porque la falta de informaciΓ³n para mi representa un asunto que resolver, una investigaciΓ³n pendiente. Pude haber empezado y terminado el traje hace muchos meses solo mirando y replicando lo que a primera vista dedujera... pero yo no soy asΓ­, y actuar asΓ­ es totalmente lo opuesto a lo que yo siento por este personaje, del que todos los dΓ­as hace mas de un aΓ±o leo fanfics con el primer cafΓ© de la maΓ±ana. Mis sentimientos por Xie Lian son demasiado profundos y me duelen como el primer amor, es un sentimiento absoluto, espeso, contundente, y que hace mas dichosa mi vida por todo lo que la historia de este hombre desencadena y resuelve en mi.

So yes, this is a project that I have delayed a lot because the lack of information for me represents a matter to solve, a pending investigation I could have started and finished the costume many months ago just looking and replicating what at first sight I deduced... but I'm not like that, and acting like that is totally the opposite of how I feel about this character, of whom every day for over a year now I've been reading fanfics with the first coffee in the morning. My feelings for Xie Lian are too deep and hurt me like the first love, it is an absolute feeling, dense, overwhelming, and that makes my life happier because of everything that the story of this man triggers and resolves in me.

Β« Are too many choices good or bad? Β»

✦ Many questions but I have every intention of finding the answers ✦

La semana pasada comenzΓ³ mi investigaciΓ³n para entender la ropa de Xie Lian, y apegΓ‘ndome a un sentido objetivo y realista, reconocΓ­ que lo mas sano era empezar por su atuendo blanco de taoΓ­sta, el mas simple de su repertorio canΓ³nico y del que tengo cero materiales reunidos.

Last week began my research to understand Xie Lian's clothing, and sticking to an objective and realistic sense, I recognized that the healthiest thing to do was to start with his white Taoist attire, the simplest of his canonical repertoire and one for which I have zero materials gathered.

Al escoger el conjunto de ropa, ahora surge la pregunta: ΒΏCuΓ‘l de todas las versiones de ese atuendo blanco voy a recrear?, porque si, un solo atuendo de un solo personaje de danmei, tiene diferentes referencias y multitud de ilustraciones oficiales (por adaptaciones a distintos formatos, eventos especiales y generaciΓ³n de mercancΓ­a).

When choosing the clothing set, now the question arises: Which of all the versions of that white outfit am I going to recreate?, because yes, a single outfit of a single danmei character, has different references and multitude of official illustrations (due to adaptations to different formats, special events and merchandise generation).

✦ 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 ✦

Para el deleite de todos los seres que pertenecemos a este fandom, solamente "el traje blanco" de Xie Lian cuenta con su versiΓ³n manhua (comic espectacularmente dibujado por la diosa StarEmber), su versiΓ³n donghua (la versiΓ³n animada de la mano de Bilibili and Haoliners Animation League), su versiΓ³n del audio drama, ilustraciones ΓΊnicas segΓΊn el paΓ­s de cada adaptaciΓ³n de idioma que ha tenido la obra escrita (portadas e ilustraciones internas de la mano de artistas chinos, rusos, filipinos, espaΓ±oles, y muchΓ­simos mΓ‘s), ilustraciones y animaciones especiales por cada celebraciΓ³n tradicional China (festivales) y eventos especiales o aniversarios de la mano de los 2 primeros equipos de producciΓ³n, y por supuesto las ilustraciones conmemorativas de cada aΓ±o por el cumple aΓ±os del personaje... Ah, y tambiΓ©n estΓ‘ su versiΓ³n "RingDoll", que vendrΓ­a a ser la muΓ±eca oficial del personaje, muy hermosa en detalle, y tambiΓ©n muy costosa (unos 700 o 800USD aproximadamente)... Y EL LIVE ACTION QUE ESTA EN POSTPRODUCCION!

To the delight of all of us who belong to this fandom, only "the white suit" of Xie Lian has its manhua version (comic spectacularly drawn by the goddess StarEmber), its donghua (the animated version by Bilibili and Haoliners Animation League), its version of the audio drama, unique illustrations according to the country of each language adaptation the written work (covers and internal illustrations by Chinese, Russian, Filipino, Spanish, and many, many more artists), special illustrations and animations for each traditional Chinese celebration (festivals) and special events or anniversaries by the first 2 production teams, and of course the commemorative illustrations of each year for the birthday of the character... Ah, and also there's her "RingDoll" version, which would be the official doll of the character, very beautiful in detail, and also very expensive (about 700 or 800USD approximately)... AND THE LIVE ACTION THAT IS IN POSTPRODUCTION!

✦ This is my choice as my main guide to recreate a hybrid set with the best of these three examples! ✦

DespuΓ©s de mucho pensarlo y meditarlo con bastante cuidado, Γ©sta ha sido mi decisiΓ³n: Quiero elaborar un conjunto hΓ­brido entre el diseΓ±o de StarEmber, la RingDoll, y 2 de mis ilustraciones oficiales conmemorativas favoritas.

After much thought and careful consideration, this was my decision: I want to create a hybrid set between the StarEmber design, the RingDoll, and 2 of my favorite commemorative illustrations official illustrations official.

Β« "How do you pronounce this correctly?" Β»

✦ The person who narrates in this video has a very pleasant voice and although it does not offer me the information I was looking for at the time, I think it is an excellent introduction for beginners like me and it was a good first contact with the subject "Hanfu" ✦

Tener claro quΓ© referencias vas a utilizar es apenas el comienzo del camino, a partir de aquΓ­ necesito reconocer cuantas y quΓ© piezas componen la ropa que utiliza Xie Lian. El nombre de su atuendo lo conocΓ­ gracias a The Hanfu Story y sus constantes y virales clips que empezaron a aparecer en mi feed hace algΓΊn tiempo.

Having clear what references you are going to use is just the beginning of the way, from here I need to recognize how many and what pieces compose the clothes that Xie Lian wears. The name of her outfit I got to know thanks to The Hanfu Story and her constant and viral clips that started appearing in my feed some time ago.

✦ Not the best "Hanfu" store and in fact I think it's Singaporean, not China-Chinese, but I got the name of the first pieces I wanted to identify! ✦

Esta tienda con un gran catΓ‘logo de conjuntos "hanfu" es hermosa y bien organizada, pero ofrece poca o nula informaciΓ³n sobre el nombre o composiciΓ³n de cada pieza de sus conjuntos temΓ‘ticos, y aΓΊn menos informaciΓ³n sobre los materiales.

This store with a large catalog of "hanfu" sets is beautiful and well organized, but offers little or no information on the name or composition of each piece in its themed sets, and even less information on materials.

✦ Thank you sister/broh Hualianist for this very helpful post. I love him too. I love him very much ✦

Sin embargo, aquΓ­ aprendΓ­ que existe una ropa interior de dos piezas de naturaleza unisex llamada "Zhongyi", y que es muy parecido a la que utiliza Xie Lian en uno de los capΓ­tulos finales del "Paso de Banyue" (aunque mirando detenidamente, esta utilizando 2 piezas superiores, no 1 solamente, y una de ellas no tiene mangas).

However, here I learned that there is a two-piece undergarment of a unisex nature called "Zhongyi", and that it is very similar to the one worn by Xie Lian in one of the final chapters of "Banyue Passage" (although looking closely, he is wearing 2 upper pieces, not 1 only, and one of them is sleeveless).

✦ I'm trying not to do spoilers for the TGCF story as I write this! ✦

Aja, allΓ­ tengo mi primera parte de este Cosplay. ΒΏQuΓ© pasa con las demΓ‘s?, Γ©ste blog de nombre super simpatico fue una autΓ©ntica revelaciΓ³n, Y EN ESPAΓ‘OL. AquΓ­ encontrΓ© que la falda de tablones que utiliza Xie Lian se llama "Qun o Chang", la pieza interior de cuello cruzado sobre la ropa interior, quizΓ‘ sea el "Yi"...

Aha, there I have my first part of this Cosplay. What about the others, this super cute name blog was a real revelation, AND IN SPANISH. Here I found that the plank skirt that Xie Lian wears is called "Qun o Chang", the cross neck underpiece over the underwear, maybe it's the "Yi"...

✦ These are not the exact patterns I need, but they serve as an example to give me an idea of where to start ✦

Hasta esta etapa, tengo identificado la informaciΓ³n necesaria para la ropa interior, su nombre y cantidad de piezas, Β‘tambiΓ©n el material guΓ­a para los patrones!, y las opciones para la tela puede ser algodΓ³n, seda o polyester.

Up to this stage, I have identified the information needed for the underwear, its name and number of pieces, also the guiding material for the patterns and the options for the fabric can be cotton, silk or polyester.

✦ I really like this video. I want to make skirts like this for myself and revamp my closet with just cotton t-shirts and shirts, hanfu skirts, and jumper dresses or simple cotagge core style dresses ✦

TodavΓ­a no tengo claro todos los detalles de la segunda y tercera capa de ropa superior, pero sΓ­ tengo la informaciΓ³n necesaria para hacer "la falda plisada", cuyo diseΓ±o es super peculiar y ya la habΓ­a visto anteriormente entre mi bΓΊsqueda de idea para otros proyectos. Β‘TambiΓ©n encontrΓ© un tutorial para hacer los pliegues con ayuda de papel y una plancha! (lo tengo guardado en Instagram), no es necesario que me preocupe por comprar una tela necesariamente plisada.

I'm still not clear on all the details of the second and third layers of upper garment, but I do have the information needed to make "the pleated skirt", whose design is super quirky and I had seen it before among my search for idea for other projects. I also found a tutorial for making the pleats with the help of paper and an iron! (I have it saved on Instagram), I don't need to worry about buying a necessarily pleated fabric.

✦ WHY ARE YOU SO EXPENSIVE, XIE LIAN BARBIE WHO IS MORE THAN HALF A METER TALL? ✦

Ahora, sinceramente en esta parte esperaba haber avanzado un poco mas rΓ‘pido, pero con este proyecto estoy aprendiendo que por cada paso que doy, puedo retroceder al inicio fΓ‘cilmente porque nuevas incΓ³gnitas me hacen replantear lo que creΓ­a que ya tenΓ­a concretado: BusquΓ© videos de otras fans de TGCF para ver el "unboxing" de la RingDoll de Xie Lian, en busca de mas detalles del orden de colocaciΓ³n y cantidad de piezas del conjunto, acΓ‘ comprobΓ© las evidentes diferencias que tanto me gustan entre la versiΓ³n del manhua, y la doll.

Now, honestly in this part I expected to have advanced a little faster, but with this project I am learning that for every step I take, I can easily go back to the beginning because new unknowns make me rethink what I thought I already had concreted: I looked for videos of other TGCF fans to see the "unboxing" of the RingDoll of Xie Lian, looking for more details of the order of placement and number of pieces of the set, here I checked the obvious differences that I like so much between the version of the manhua, and the doll.

XL7.PNGXL8.PNG

✦ For doll clothes, here I was able to extract very good information on what fabrics I could buy for some of the layers of the outfit: There is fabric with thread embroidery, slightly iridescent, and translucent ✦

Ver desplegadas las piezas de ropa de la doll me ayuda muchΓ­simo para determinar la longitud de las mangas en proporciΓ³n a mi cuerpo y en comparaciΓ³n a las demΓ‘s piezas de su ropa. No todas tienen el mismo largo en las mangas y eso se nota muchΓ­simo en todas sus versiones, pero es difΓ­cil determinar cuΓ‘l es cuΓ‘l y allΓ­ es cuando estos videos son de gran ayuda, he estado tomando capturas como loca todo el fin de semana.

Seeing the doll's clothing pieces displayed helps me a lot to determine the length of the sleeves in proportion to my body and in comparison to the other pieces of her clothing They don't all have the same length sleeves and that is very noticeable in all her versions, but it is difficult to determine which is which and that is when these videos are a great help, I have been taking pictures like crazy all weekend.

Β« Conclusions from this first stage! Β»

✦ I am very rusty, before my sketches were very nice :( I must practice to regain fluency in my hand ✦

En la primera etapa de este nuevo proyecto cosplay, concluΓ­ que para este diseΓ±o hΓ­brido elaborΓ© un conjunto de 7 piezas principales (piezas de ropa grande, aquΓ­ no estoy contando los detalles como las vendas en cuello y brazos, el cinturΓ³n, las botas o el sombrero con su velo), de las que por ahora identifico como: El "Zhongyi" (ropa interior -2-), el "Qun o Chang" (la falda con tablones -1-), el "Yi" (la primera prenda de cuello cruzado -1-) y el "Shan" (la segunda pieza principal, que se utiliza sobre el "Yi" -1-). TodavΓ­a estoy en busca del nombre de 2 piezas, la ΓΊltima especialmente por su protagonismo al ser la pieza que "unificarΓ‘" toda la ilusiΓ³n de movimiento del traje.

In the first stage of this new cosplay project, I concluded that for this hybrid design I elaborated a set of 7 main pieces (large clothing pieces, here I am not counting the details such as the bandages on neck and arms, the belt, the boots or the hat with its veil), of which for now I identify as: The "Zhongyi " (underwear -2-), the "Qun or Chang " (the skirt with planks -1-), the "Yi" (the first cross-necked garment -1-) and the "Shan " (the second main piece, worn over the "Yi " -1-). I am still in search of the name of 2 pieces, the last one especially for its prominence as it is the piece that will "unify" the whole illusion of movement of the costume.

7 capas puede sonar a mucha tela y el riesgo potencial de la perdida de la silueta, pero creo que si trabajo unos 3 o 4 tipos diferentes de tela suave como el chiffon y telas suaves para cortinas (hack infalible!) lograre conservar la curva de la espalda y mis hombros, sin sacrificar el volumen del final del diseΓ±o (creo que lo mas impactante de los trajes "hanfus", y lo que hace que se vean tan mΓ‘gicos, es ese efecto fin sin de tela moviΓ©ndose cuando caminas o mueves los brazos).

7 layers may sound like a lot of fabric and the potential risk of silhouette loss, but I find that if I work with 3 or 4 different types of soft fabrics like chiffon and soft drapery fabrics (foolproof hack!) I will manage to keep the curve of the back and my shoulders, without sacrificing the volume of the end of the design (I think the most striking thing about the "hanfus" suits, and what makes them look so magical, is that final effect of fabric moving when you walk or move your arms).

IMG_20231008_154055.jpgIMG_20231008_154129.jpgIMG_20231008_154347.jpgIMG_20231008_154305.jpg

✦ I feel more confident with this analysis in my hands, I need to write it all down because I know that I will forget some important detail as the weeks go by and then I will have to start from the beginning. It has already happened to me ✦

Reconozco por supuesto que necesito investigar muchΓ­simo mΓ‘s, necesito ver mas referencias, y definitivamente necesito pulir mis primeros bocetos para poder seguir adelante y producir exitosamente los patrones definitivos. ΒΏQuΓ© necesito mejorar?, Β‘fΓ­jate!, los trajes de este tipo de historias no son piezas de dos caras, las prendas mas largas que llegan a los tobillos estΓ‘n abiertas en varias secciones o tienen injertos de tela extra para un mayor efecto de ondas cuando los personajes tienen escenas de acciΓ³n, especialmente en combate. La tela vuela por todos lados y su apariencia es absolutamente celestial.

I recognize of course that I need to do a lot more research, I need to see more references, and I definitely need to polish up my first sketches in order to go ahead and successfully produce the final patterns. What do I need to improve?, note, the costumes in these types of stories are not two-sided pieces, longer garments that reach the ankles are open in several sections or have extra fabric grafts for a greater ripple effect when the characters have action scenes, especially in combat. The fabric flies all over the place and looks absolutely heavenly.

IMG_20231009_135948.jpgIMG_20231009_135955.jpgIMG_20231009_140007.jpg
IMG_20231009_140451.jpgIMG_20231009_140529.jpgIMG_20231009_140550.jpg

✦ One issue that concerns me about this project is that Xie Lian does not use luxuries. Is he a homeless character who wanders the world (I don't want to give too many details and make spoilers) or is he in a part of the story... if I buy very sumptuous fabrics, I don't think I'll be a very convincing Xie Lian. But a wrong choice of fabric would make the costume look poorly executed, instead of giving the appearance of a humble person's attire ✦

Y creo que aquΓ­ por fin contacto con mi genuina intensiΓ³n de recrear un Xie Lian que luzca como lo que es, un ser divino, celestial, que cuando camina o se mueve evoca sentimientos sutiles en quien lo mire. Un personaje que no encaja con el paisaje, pero a la vez quiere pasar desapercibido, con su blanco en perpetuo luto. Triste y hermoso.

And I think that here I finally contact with my genuine intention to recreate a Xie Lian that looks like what he is, a divine, celestial being, that when he walks or moves evokes subtle feelings in whoever looks at him. A character that does not fit in with the landscape, but at the same time wants to go unnoticed, with his white in perpetual mourning. Sad and beautiful.

Anoche reconsiderΓ© en cΓ³mo estaba estudiando este proyecto hasta ahora, sentΓ­ que no le estaba -otra vez- imprimiendo el amor que merece, pensΓ© en borrar este post pero en lugar de eso, volvΓ­ mi atenciΓ³n a la versiΓ³n de Xie Lian del Live Action que aΓΊn no se emite, pero del que se consiguen algunas filtraciones de las filmaciones. Hice nuevos collages con imΓ‘genes nuevas coladas en Pinterest, y mi mamΓ‘ me ayudΓ³ a imprimirlos esta maΓ±ana, y la verdad me siento mucho mejor porque la caΓ­da y volumen de esa versiΓ³n se acerca mucho a lo que quiero, tener estas referencias en mis manos me inspira seguridad, a veces temo olvidar las cosas por mas que las anote... es difΓ­cil poner en una lista la totalidad de una visiΓ³n.

Last night I reconsidered on how I was studying this project so far, I felt like I wasn't -again- giving it the love it deserves, I thought about deleting this post but instead, I turned my attention to Xie Lian's version of Live Action which is not yet aired, but of which you get some leaks of the footage. I made new collages with new images pinned on Pinterest, and my mom helped me print them out this morning, and I actually feel much better because the drop and volume of that version is so close to what I want, having these references in my hands inspires me with confidence, sometimes I'm afraid I'll forget things no matter how much I write them down... it is difficult to put in a list the totality of a vision.

✦ I started the album of the highlighted stories of this project a few days ago, maybe I deleted it, but I like to leave a record of the progress and above all a memory of those who helped me and gave me their love and support ✦

Β‘Esos son los progresos hasta ahora! Actualmente llevo 3 incursiones sin Γ©xito para encontrar las telas con hilo bordado o brocado correctas, sin embargo eso no me desanima porque este proyecto ha recibido mucho apoyo y comentarios positivos de mis amigos en la comunidad Cosplayer Venezolana desde que mencione que querΓ­a hacer a Xie Lian.

That's the progress so far! Currently I've made 3 unsuccessful forays to find the right embroidered or brocade thread fabrics, however that doesn't discourage me because this project has received a lot of support and positive comments from my friends in the Venezuelan Cosplayer community since I mentioned that I wanted to make Xie Lian.

Y fueron precisamente estas personas las que me animaron a abrir una meta en Ko-Fi para recibir colaboraciones para la compra de los materiales y elementos que aΓΊn necesito (la peluca ya la tengo por cierto, me la regalo @Vanuzza en mi cumple aΓ±os). Β‘Vamos por el 15%!, y tambiΓ©n es la primera meta en la que darΓ© recompensas a todos los que colaboren a partir de 1$ β˜• πŸ’–

And it was precisely these people who encouraged me to open a goal in Ko-Fi to receive collaborations for the purchase of materials and elements that I still need (the wig I already have it by the way, it was given to me by @Vanuzza on my birthday). We're at 15%, and also it's the first goal where I'll give rewards to everyone who collaborates from 1$ β˜• πŸ’–

✦ Body in the abyss, heart in paradise ✦

No se cuΓ‘ntos post tenga esta serie, pero estoy muy feliz de poder compartir esta nueva aventura desde cero aquΓ­ en Hive, con toda la emociΓ³n pero tambiΓ©n con toda la incertidumbre que implica intentar algo nuevo. Los quiero mucho, y espero tengan un grandioso inicio de semana πŸ’•

I don't know how many posts this series has, but I'm so happy to be able to share this new adventure from scratch here on Hive, with all the excitement but also all the uncertainty that comes with trying something new. I love you guys so much, and I hope you have a great start to the week! πŸ’•
