Aquamarine (January)

Janet Campbell, lover of colours, Journal 15, 27 January 1987: “A right beautiful day in my life. Awoke + ran into the coolness of a birthday morning– swang in park. Returned to my lover who had picked daisies in an eggcup + redgum leaves with white ribbon + given me a handprinted Japanese card + an aquamarine 1920’s ring to fit a princess of the sea. He is gifted in his romantic vision… Swim then visit Lenore’s…This eve I received pink carnations + a handdrawn card on a lacecloth… I am filled with love… A new time begins. Thankyou God.”
