>Barbara, the trick was to put the paper around the outside of the bowl, up to and including the rim. Leave the inside exposed. Store upside down, with the exposed inside down on a rack.
Wrap the out side of a vase.

>Hi Barbara,
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused you for I am confused myself most of the time.
For all hollow pieces, including vases, warp the out side with heavy paper leaving the opening exposed to air. I fold the paper over the rim and secure it with masking tape. Dry the piece up side down.
You can email me or call me if you need better explanations. My phone number is on my website.

>Dave, that is a good answer. For some reason I thought a vase was wrapped differently from a bowl. I am keeping procedure, weights, soaking times, etc. for the 16 1/2" holly and magnolia bowls.
LOL

I wish I could turn a 16" bowl.
