Truth Journaling Art

Over in the Wild Precious Studio group (http://wildprecious.ning.com/?xg_source=msg_mes_network)
I joined a couple of groups, one dealing with finding your truth.  I am not sure where we are going with this as the group just got up and going, but one of the prompts was to do something with how we hide our truths.  The two page spread I made:

I am not really sure what all my truths are at the moment. I will have to meditate on that, lol or just wait til they emerge now that the thought is on my mind.  I did have the little envelope with "envy" on it, and since I have been envious at times, I figured that was a truth.  And, I painted the shoes bright red since I know I used to wear wild shoes because it was a way of attracting peoples eyes away from staring opened mouth at my 6 foot stature, although, I really did not realize that for many years.  And I really never let myself "see" truths, ie the hanging head and hidden eyes.  And I am sure I hide much under my art so the list on the right, a list I have had in my stash ever for so long and I am glad to finally get to use it on a spread.  The open spaces I will fill up with more truths when and if I happen to figure them out, lol
Elements I used?  A magazine lady, an envelope I stuck the word envy on sometime ago, a paper place mat I used for a stencil for another art journal page, matt medium, watercolor crayons, charcoal pencil, sayings saved from magazines and other places, gouache, sharpie poster paint pens, gesso.  Is that mixed media or what?
