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.
