The Leaf Dancer Story
This is Joan before taking it off. She's wearing her summer attire consisting of an authentic 1970's homemade bathing suit top and her favorite shell necklace. The suit bottom is random from my better body bathing suit days.
A shot of Joan hanging out with Shaggy photo bombing in his own special way.
I was once offered money for this top when Joan wore it to a special event I did in 2009 when selling homemade t-shirts designed with recycling themes. Joan was there holding a sign. I made the top back in the 70's in the days that my ex and I were living and traveling in a purple school bus on modest means. I needed a bathing suit, so I found an old bra I had neglected in wearing; I didn't wear one often back then anyway. Patching clothes was very popular, sustaining, and looked really cool. Especially if they were embroidered on, which I did. I had plenty of pieces of material collected, so I put together this top which I wore with cut off blue jeans.
