Eric The Hare Bust

WHERE BEAUTY MEETS MEANING

Meet Eric. With his wonderfully tall ears, magnificent handlebar moustache and monocle, he possesses the unmistakable air of a hare who has stories to tell. And, as it happens, he does.

Eric is one of the two original characters at the heart of Canadian artist and author Jessica Hiemstra's Eric + Eloise. Inspired by Scandinavian folktales and Jessica's childhood in the forests of Canada, the first story follows the unlikely friendship between Eric the hare and Eloise the fox—a friendship that eventually grew into an entire woodland "Framily." 

The books that followed brought more friends and more seasons into their forest, but Eric remained part of it all. He appears again in While the Forest is Sleeping, gathering with friends on New Year's Eve, and returns with the whole Framily in the springtime story Charlie in Spring. 

In sculptural form, Eric becomes the sort of object that makes a room feel as though someone interesting lives there.

Finished in warm antique gold and dressed with all the eccentric dignity we've come to expect from him, the bust transforms a beloved storybook character into a small collected treasure for the home. Jessica's bust collection was created specifically to bring the Eric + Eloise friends to life on the tabletop, each character dressed in their own wonderfully distinctive way. 

We couldn't imagine Meadows & Muse without him.

Because beneath the monocle and that truly excellent moustache is the idea that started everything: Sometimes friendship begins with someone we never expected to find.

PERFECT PLACEMENT IN YOUR HOME

Eric belongs somewhere his considerable personality can be properly appreciated.

Tuck him between favourite books in a library, let those unmistakable ears rise above a collection on a mantel, or place him among botanical studies, dried flowers and gathered natural treasures on a console or writing desk.

His antique-gold finish makes him especially lovely alongside aged wood, old books, weathered pottery and the softened colours of preserved botanicals. And because of his tall silhouette, Eric can bring height and character to a collected arrangement without requiring a large footprint.

For those who enjoy a little more storytelling at home, place him near Eloise the Fox. After all, theirs is the friendship that began the whole tale.

Perfect for: bookshelves, libraries, writing desks, mantels, consoles, reading nooks and cabinets of curiosity.
