New old favourites on lilac

I have made new versions of some old favourites for my Etsy shop.  Lately I am quite fond of lilac, so I decided to photograph the figures against a sheet of paper in that colour.  I find styling photos surprisingly tricky, but I'm content with the relatively minimalist addition of a pile of Ladybird books and my grandmother's handwoven seat cover (pinned onto the wall).  The light at the studio is certainly better for photography than it is in my dark old house.  The variation in the lilac paper's colour between photos is another matter.  As bored as I am with it as a backdrop, I think I'd better stick to white.
