[Scriptoris] commissions??

[Hillary Greenslade]

Some Signets have acted as the clearing house, and some have appointed a
deputy to take on that role.  You can do either, but I also like the idea of
using the webpage as a sort of portfolio of artists to look for as potential
commissions for those seeking a scribe.  

I guess you could add a note by the artists gallery that indicates if they
accept commissions (and that would be between the artists and the client to
decide terms- money, barter, supplies), and an e-mail or phone contact. 
Ain't high technology grand!
