Okay, when you work with clay you can either just do it by feel and you can make a bowl however you see it in your mind, or some people like to draw it out just to have something to go by. So, I'm just going to do a very, this is a basic beginning bowl. So, I'm just going to kind of draw the bowl out but, maybe, it's going to be a little bit deeper and then maybe on the side it just has two little small knobs, not handles, but knobs. And maybe I want to put a design at the bottom, kind of like the stripes on a Charlie Brown t-shirt or something like that. And then, put some designs there and maybe a stripe across the middle. So, now that I have this to work with, I have something that I can go by, and maybe if I decide to do a lid, the lid would actually have a knob on it and come down here. So, this is my basic concept for this bowl.
