Kaf Grimm: Dolls Stitched with Heart

Kaf Grimm: Dolls Stitched with Heart

Meet doll maker Kaf Grimm of Grimitives. Every doll born in her studio has a stitched heart. That's Kaf's way of putting a piece of herself into every creation. "Grimitives are my grim children, and each and every one is different. So, it's hard picking my favorite, and it's also hard letting them go when I'm finished with them," said Kaf.

Kaf is passionate about preserving history, which is evident in her choice to collect and use vintage materials. Her studio, built on top of a historic foundation, is full unexplained happenings. Where are strange voices coming from? She is also deeply connected to the ocean for inspiration and relaxation. She can be found beachcombing for objects to incorporate into her works.

Her dolls reflect her playful sense of humor. A Santa doll with a crab craw for an arm becomes Sandy Claws. Warm childhood memories also appear. Her nostalgia for being in the Girl Scouts manifests itself in her Zombie Scout dolls.

Kaf also shares her encounter with one the greatest spooky artists of all time, Cape Cod travel tips, why she had to be under the supervision of a security during one of her first jobs, the job that was the height of her career, and more.
