Those turned out really well! What does your lightbox consist of if you don't mind me askin?

I made my lightbox out of a 12x12x10.5 inch cardboard box, a white bed sheet, white cardstock, a glue stick, duct tape, a clamp lamp from Lowe's, and a GE Lighting Reveal 100 watt light bulb.

First, I taped the bottom of the box shut, cut the top flaps off, laid it on it on its side, and cut 3 of the sides (leaving a 1 inch border) out using an X-Acto knife. The side that I did not cut is the bottom of the lightbox. Next, I cut 1 inch strips of white cardstock and glued them inside of the box to the borders that I left behind when cutting the sides. I then draped a piece of the white sheet over the cut sides of the lightbox (on the outside of the box) and secured it using duct tape. Finally, I laid a piece of the white sheet up against the back wall and bottom of the lightbox.

I light the box using the clamp lamp and 100 watt bulb. I take the pictures with my old Canon set to macro. I'm not very good with photography; I just play around with the settings and focus on my camera until I get the results that I'm looking for.

Your photos turned out great If I could ever pull off something like that, it would be accidental. I can't be trusted with a camera, no matter how easy it is.
