Here are some pictures from the Iconic Native Funk & Flash: An emerging Folk Art from 1974 by Alexandra Jacopetti. One of my all time favourite books !!
Oh yeah! I used to check this one out from the library when I was in high school. the other one I was always checking out was Rolling Homes: Handmade Houses On Wheels, by Jane Lidz.
It is fun to see that everything old is new again, growing up in the late 1960's I recall many of these styles and often smile inward when I see similar items today offered to a new generation. This post makes me smile so glad I found your site.

I'm having a Flashback and I'm loving it... Iconic Funky Style is my all time Fav Fashion Statement!

Just think, that blue-eyed hunk in the second photo is probably near 70 years old now. (sigh).
I just bought this book (an earlier edition that includes all the original photos)...Love it!
Amazing!! LOVE this! :)
I adore the large crochets sleeves, like Ron's Mam (Harry Potter), I dream I'd find someone who could make this for me ...
