Nicely done.
I usually keep a yard or two of white rip-stop nylon around and build a light box with 'Tinker Toy' style sticks and joints when I need one.

My method is to take a tablet, set the screen to white with maximum brightness, then position the tablet for the desired angle. It sheds a nice glow onto the subject.
