This is the bowl I “toasted” yesterday, sanded, and primed with acrylic gesso:

You’ll notice that the rim is not perfectly circular — this is a natural result of how the bowl is formed, and while I could use the dremel to sand it even, I actually prefer the irregular shape. This will become a “butterfly bowl”, and the more organic edge will enhance the decoupaged design. (Besides, if you want a perfectly round bowl, you could just go out and buy one. ;-))
