What is mixed media? Does my shop qualify?

It's a good question, and I'll refer to the Wiki for a common meaning.

Wiki says:

Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed.

Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on paper or canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work [...] Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist mediums, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist mediums.

Hey there! This thread stemmed from another thread regarding sharing ideas/thoughts/techniques about Mixed-Media.Then I had a thought... a mixed-media team!I looked through them, as did some others, and we didn't find a pre-existing team that was focused on mixed-media. I thought it would be a neat way to network with each other, share resources and ideas, and promote!So, who would like to be a part of this? I already have a few takers... ;)I would be happy to submit the application to Etsy, so all you would have to do is say, "Count me in!" and we'll be on our way!~ MaRi ~
