Sharon Carlson folds a tie-dyed wrap inside her booth at the Rio Grande Arts and Crafts Festival's Christmas show. She has been selling her colorful clothing at craft fairs in New Mexico and Colorado for 13 years. "I do it to support my children, Terrapin and Cassiopeia," she said. "And there was a niche in Albuquerque for tie-dye, and I filled it."
