Frequently Asked Questions
What is Morezmore?
Morezmore is a small family online shop for puppet makers, dollmakers, stop-motion animators, needle felters, sculptors, miniaturists, and artists building strange and wonderful things by hand.
We sell tools and materials for stop-motion puppets, armatures, OOAK dolls, needle felting, sculpting, miniature props, doll hair, doll eyes, faux fur, clay, adhesives, and other creative supplies.

We ship from Pennsylvania, USA.
Who runs Morezmore?
Morezmore is run by Natasha, a puppet maker, doll maker, and keeper of the Morezmore Store.
I use many of the materials we sell in my own puppet and doll work, and I am always happy to share what I have learned.
Can I ask for help choosing materials?
Yes. Your questions are welcome.
If you are trying to choose the right material, tool, size, color, wire, wool, eye, hair, fur, clay, adhesive, or armature part for your project, please contact us. I will be glad to help if I can.

Can I buy just one small part?
Yes. Morezmore has a category called “All You Need Is One, One Is All You Need.”
In this category, you can buy just one small part, such as one screw, one hex nut, one washer, one connector, or another tiny useful piece.
This is helpful when you need a replacement part, want to test a size, or only need one piece for a small puppet, armature, miniature, repair, or experiment.
Do you combine shipping?
Yes. Shipping is combined automatically at checkout.
Shipping cost is based on the combined weight of all items in your order, your shipping address, and current USPS rates.

We do our best to photograph and describe items clearly.
Please keep in mind that colors may look slightly different depending on your screen, lighting, and device settings. For natural materials such as wool, fur, feathers, and hair, small variations may occur.
What does OOAK mean?
OOAK means “one of a kind.”
OOAK dolls are handmade art dolls, usually sculpted, painted, wigged, dressed, and finished as unique individual pieces.
What is stop-motion puppet armature?
An armature is the internal skeleton or support structure inside a puppet. It helps the puppet hold poses and move in small increments during animation.
Stop-motion puppet armatures are usually made in one of two ways: wire armatures or ball-and-socket armatures.
Wire armatures are easier to make and less expensive, which makes them a good choice for beginners, practice puppets, and simpler projects. The tradeoff is that wire armatures are short-lived compared with ball-and-socket armatures, because wire eventually breaks from repeated bending.
Ball-and-socket armatures are more durable and allow smoother, more controlled movement. They are also more complicated to build and more expensive, so they are usually chosen for more advanced or long-term puppet projects.
Do you have tutorials?
Yes. Morezmore began as both a shop and a studio notebook, and I share tutorials, work-in-progress notes, experiments, successes, failures, and project discoveries in several places.
You can find Morezmore tutorials and project notes here:
- Morezmore Studio Blog: https://morezmore.wordpress.com/
- Morezmore YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Morezmore
- Morezmore Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/morezmore
- Morezmore Studio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morezmorestudio/
Some people call them tutorials, but I often think of them as creative field notes from making stop-motion puppets, one-of-a-kind art dolls, miniatures, and other projects with unpredictable results.
I am a beginner. Can I still shop here?
Yes. Beginners are very welcome.
Many Morezmore customers are learning puppet making, dollmaking, needle felting, sculpting, or miniature work. If you are not sure which item to choose, please ask. Creative projects already have enough mysteries without turning supply shopping into a dungeon quest.
Can you make a puppet for me?
Sometimes I take custom puppet-making commissions. If you would like to ask about a custom puppet, please contact me with as much information as you can.
A simple drawing is very helpful. A stick figure drawing is fine. Please also include:
- the approximate height of the puppet
- whether you prefer a wire armature or a ball-and-socket armature
- your preferred materials for the face and hands
- any special features, costume ideas, props, or movement needs
Once I understand the project, I can let you know whether I may be able to make it, what kind of armature or materials might work best, and what the approximate cost may be.
