Never give up experimenting!   There is a really great TED talk by a fellow named Ken Robinson, an expert in education.  I was introduced to it in a thread here on pnet a couple years ago.  Its about creativity and the education system.  As someone who's creativity was virtually ignored throughout my education, one of my favorite concepts of his talk is this:

What we do know is, if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original—if you’re not prepared to be wrong.  And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity.  They have become frightened of being wrong. And we run our companies like this.  We stigmatize mistakes.  And we’re now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make.  And the result is that we are educating people out of their creative capacities.

Picasso once said this, he said that all children are born artists.  The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. I believe this passionately, that we don’t grow into creativity, we grow out of it.  Or rather, we get educated out of it.--Ken Robinson

I think his talks, (there’s a follow up talk worth watching too) inspired me to honor my own creativity a bit more than I had been.  You obviously have lots of talent, so keep making images.  You photo here is really very lovely, and creative!
