Yes. See here:

After having used it, here are some things I'd tweak a bit:

1. In your help file, it would be helpful to indicate where the
extension shows up. In this case, Extensions > Examples > Blobs
texture
2. I'd actually add it to the "Render" submenu instead, since that's
what it's doing- rendering blobs. :)
3. Increase "How many blobs?" Max to 2k instead of 256, and change
wording to "Number of blobs"
4. Combine all the blobs into one path instead of individual objects
(this will significantly speed up moving the results around, and
prevent having to pick blobs individually out of stuff. :)
5. Keep in mind the default size of the Inkscape canvas is A4 in mm
units. I recommend these defaults: # of blobs: 256, work area 200x200,
size of blob 0.3

I'd also like to say that I really like this extension and can see
myself using it to create a worn text look and grit in future
projects. Thanks for the work!
