Doing the Da Vinci thing

I have been working on preparing a stamp for my books, carving out of linoleum mounted on a wooden block in proper print-making fashion. The top part says "Property of Jason Pitre" while the bottom says a sentence in latin. Well, half way through the latin (before i do the property of bit) i remember what i forgot. The whole mirror image thing. As a result, my latin is encrypted in the same manner made famous by Leonardo Da Vinci. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_writing

I fortunately caught it early enough but it is still a pain.
