Elle Crée
BASED IN PORTLAND, OR
Merging Creativity and Compassion
Elle Crée—or “she creates” in French—produces artist-quality paint-by-number kits that foster creativity and self-care. They seek to reduce the impact on the environment by carefully sourcing eco-friendly components that are local- and USA-made whenever possible. Their custom paint colors are mixed from USA-made acrylic, and their kits are assembled with the help of a small staff in Portland, Oregon. Founded with a social focus by illustrator Rachel Austen, 5% of their net profits are donated to social and environmental causes. Together, we are thrilled to introduce paint-by-number kits inspired by our films.

Art-i-Fact #6
The costume department test-dyed a number of fabric swatches (like these intended for Judge Hopkins) to get exactly the right color combinations for the Puritan-era zombie costumes in ParaNorman.
Art-i-Fact #7
Coraline has 9 outfit changes throughout the film Coraline (including a pink skirt made with stretchy, hand-dyed lycra fabric and multi-color embroidery)—more than any other character in any LAIKA film to date.
Art-i-Fact #9
This beetle print—a test swatch made from bamboo glued onto kimono fabric in strips—is inspired by the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, or kabutomushi (kabuto means “helmet” and mushi means “bug”).
Art-i-Fact #8
Mr. Link’s plaid suit is a nod to Northwest clothing conventions of the day, as well as weaving history, specifically the textile manufacturing companies White Stag and Pendleton, which were established in Oregon during this time period.
Art-i-Fact #10
Finding the pattern for Sir Lionel's houndstooth suit involved collaborating with an expert weaver to meticulously establish the size, shape, and color tones of the interlocking shapes, ultimately reflecting his modern, fashion-forward sensibilities with rich blues and yellows.
