Message from the Creator
“My name is Liz, and I am a schizophrenic artist and content creator that discusses my own experience with my illness in relation to religion through my work.
I have experienced religious delusions and hallucinations since a young age, which have not only caused me immense pain but also provided me with comfort. I find religious works to be both beautiful and terrifying at the same time, and my pieces frequently incorporate horror elements.
My fixation on religion has grown in recent years, and my goal is to show that while it can cause pain, it can also be beautiful. This design was inspired by walls of crosses seen in many religious homes that I look back on both in fear as well as fondly.
As a butch lesbian, in addition to my illness, I have always had a complicated relationship with religion and work to dissect that in my work.
I am also a big fan of colorful aesthetics in addition to my more well-known dark one, and I wanted to bring a pop of color into this design to show both parts of me. The colors of the mixed metals as well as the physical crosses incorporated into the design give in to a maximalist feel, which is something I really love and brings a bit of “fun” to the work, which is representative of the dichotomy of my personality and my experiences.
This was my first time with a project of this nature, and as a digital artist, seeing my ideas come to life in a physical form is something I never thought would be possible, and I am eternally grateful for the experience! I hope you love this piece as much as I do!”

Material
This knitwear, like all of our quality Little Good Knits, should be treated as a piece of wearable art. It is built to be collectible and last for decades.
Hand knitted from 100% premium, heavy-weight cotton yarn. Our skilled knitter used a hand-operated flat knitting machine and spent an average of 6 to 8 hours creating the sweater, assembling various garment parts, and adding all the metal accessories and tags by hand. Don’t expect this knitted sweater to resemble a machine-made item. It was made by hand. The hand-knit sweater is famous for being unique because each one has flaws in the yarn.
All of our knitwear will give you the ultimate oversized chic look. For Summer, this top is great to wear over a linen outfit in the evening or with cut-off jeans for a walk in the early morning. For Spring, Fall and Winter, this top is your perfect wardrobe staple for layering or to be worn alone.
100% cotton has good air permeability, it keeps warm, absorbs sweat and dries quickly, is not sticky or greasy, and does not generate static electricity. The sweater will get softer over time, making it the perfect knit sweater for anyone who wants to look good and feel good at the same time.
