The Story Behind the Louie Mouse Wall Mount

Louie began in a storybook. Artist Jessica Hiemstra wrote Eric and Eloise, a tale of unlikely friendship between a fox and a hare. The Eric + Eloise Collection launched in 2017 as a holiday offering. It has grown into a year-round series with a whole cast of characters. Louie is the smallest of the woodland crew and the most formally dressed. As Eric and Eloise decor, Louie carries a piece of that story into your home. Each piece is Jessica Hiemstra wall art with its own character.

A Long Line of Small Heroes

Mice have starred in storybooks since Aesop told of the town mouse and the country mouse. This Louie mouse wall mount joins that long line of small, clever characters. Victorian taxidermists also loved posing rodents in tiny human scenes. Louie brings the same humor to your wall in lasting metal. As mouse wall decor, he is a pleasant surprise in a small space. Fans of animal art will smile at him. He makes Jessica Hiemstra wall art out of a tiny gentleman.

The Woodland Crew Beside the Louie Mouse Wall Mount

Frankie is a pipe-smoking buck. Charlie is an aviator duck. Beatrice is a bear in round glasses. Emerson is a top-hatted pheasant. Margie is a scarf-adorned doe. The collection celebrates friendship across differences. A quirky woodland crew finds belonging in one another. Each character has its own accessory and its own personality, so the cast invites collecting.
