Spiritually speaking, should I make Rune carving my next big ambition after today?

Apparently I'm good at this thing called Chinese paper cutting, which is cutting intricate figures out of paper with a blade and miniature scissors. I've also proven good at sculpting and calligraphy (both western and eastern), so do you think I should give Rune carving a shot?
