softbox? what is this apparatus that you dare speak of?

Well my softbox is made from tissue and card and i'm using it to experiment with diffused light. My other droplet shots were mostly directly lit which is fine, i wanted to try a softer light and see what effect it had.
It's too hard to explain without pics really. In a nutshell it's a cardboard box with it's sides all cut out and tissue paper stuck over all the sides bar one. Then i just place my object inside and using a LED torch experiment with lighting till i find something i like.
Yes i know i could just place tissue over the front of the torch, but the distance the light has to travel before hitting the "diffuser" (in my case the tissue paper) has a significant effect.
I hope this helps in some way!?
