Blue Sun Cry Baby

Description

"Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh."

If you've seen Joss Whedon's television series Firefly, you might recognize this little baby. On the show the Cry Baby is an electronic device made from a salvaged tin coffee can that is rigged to replicate the distress call of a large passenger vessel. Cry Babies were used as decoys in order to distract the Alliance and throw them off track.

This is my version of the 'Cry baby", and it's a little bit different (ie. no electronics involved). Ironically it is made from a re-purposed tetley tea canister . The outside of the canister has been covered with a label reading "Blue Sun Coffee", and then protected with a layer of laminate to protect it from moisture and wear. The inside of the canister is layered in the original paper foil (and still has the faintly pleasant aroma of Vanilla Earl Grey tea).

This listing is for one Cry Baby canister. It is quite small and measures approximately 3 1/4 inches high, and about 3 inches wide. Canister has a nifty little blue lid that pops on and off. This would be a great little jar to hold all kinds of knick-knacks: pens, barrettes, paperclips.... I made one for myself to hold my loose change, the possibilites are endless.

Thanks for looking! Please let me know if you have any questions. :)

Stay shiny!
