The final attraction at the Hayes Museum appeared at first to be a bunch of large snowflakes. They were created by a surgeon from Michigan named Thomas Clark. Otherwise known as “Dr. Snowflake,” he specializes in this intricate cut-paper art. Most of us have probably folded a circle in quarters and cut out little notches to make a snowflake. Well, Dr. Snowflake used the same technique to create an array of tiny pictures within an 8” or 10” paper circle. It was truly amazing!
There some Christmas-themed snowflakes and a few designs featuring the planets. But the largest collection was a series picturing Bible verses from Matthew 5, 6, and 7. This snowflake illustrates Matthew 5:14:
“You are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand,
and it gives light to all who are in the house.”

Totally cool and awesome!
Must be pretty hard. I wonder what he uses to cut them out.
Very small scissors, I'd guess!
