[Scriptoris] Sign your name to the back

[Hillary Greenslade]

Thanks for the reminder Zubeydah.  
Even if you are painting charter scrolls, it's an Ansteorran tradition to sign the back, lightly
in pencil, under the illumination (so it won't show through).  Ansteorran Crowns oft recognize 
the work done with charter painting, as well as with original scrolls.  

Keep up the great work scribes,
