The red and white tulip is the worldwide symbol for Parkinson’s disease. J.W.S Van der Wereld a Dutch horticulturist who lived with Parkinson’s disease, bred a new red-and-white tulip variant. He named it the Dr. James Parkinson to honor the English physician who first documented “the shaking palsy” in 1817.
The shape of the tulip leaves are inspired by early onset Parkinson’s patient Karen Painter who designed a popular stylized red tulip logo featuring leaves shaped like the letters “P” and “D”.
In the beading there is a little yellow spark. ‘The Spark’ is the symbol of awareness for Parkinson’s Disease – representing the spark of Dopamine that people with Parkinson’s disease lose. Spearheaded by the PD avengers along with over 80 other Parkinson’s organizations.
The ‘Tiny Tulip’ design is worked in Miyuki Delica Beads Size 11/0.
There are 7 colours, 440 beads, 20 columns of beads and 44 rows of beads (22 beads high) in the one design. 2 yards of FireLine beading thread and a short crewel needle is used to stitch the peyote beading.
The finished beading measures approximately 1 inch wide by 1 1/2 inches high (2 1/2 cm by 3 3/4cm) depending on your sewing tension and fits into an acrylic fridge magnet/picture frame against a black and white card background. The Tiny Tulip can be also be made into a Pendant necklace or brooch (instructions for finishing included if the pendant/brooch attachment is purchased).
Four Tiny Tulips stitched end to end makes a cute 6 inch bookmark or 6 inch bracelet – 7 1/4 inches with the findings attached (instructions for finishing into a bracelet included if the bracelet findings are purchased)..
Although the tulip is tiny, it is achievable for beginners when good lighting and appropriate magnification are used. If additional magnification is required an economical option for magnification is to use reading glasses (from the drug store or dollar store) that can be worn alone or over your regular eye glasses.
