I did that in the OLPC image just a few days ago but it seems the 
vertices option has disappeared !?
There have been lots of stuff happening to the OLPC image lately so I 
guess it's just a temporary outage.
Anyway, I made a blob morph that worked just like the one in the image 
with just a few tiles of etoy. It was a fun experiment.
