I created my blobs by bashing various Python libraries together. I used sklearn's SVM to get a 2D Voronoi classifier. Using that classifier I sorted random points into buckets and used scipy.spatial's ConvexHull algorithm to get a shapely LineString so that I could clip the hatching for later. I drew the actual curves using a modified version of Wikipedia's Catmull-Rom curve. To add the randomness to the edges I used a Perlin noise library to implement some approximation of p5.scribble. My inspiration was to create little potato creatures that were all holding hands (above). Due to time constraints I was only able to get the potato bodies. One thing I found interesting from the readings was the Town and Country salt and pepper shakers. I really vibed with the idea that blobs can be personified.
