Bottom line -- if you are happy with what you've got then that is all that matters. I just assumed that you wanted to take a step up in getting better images. After all, you did ask for feedback. Well OK, I admit that you really wanted feedback on how to use what you got rather than what you didn't get.
I think that John's suggestions for lighting are very good. The lighting should be through the sides and/or top of the tent, but generally not through the front opening. Using the light tent could be frustrating, but if you stick with it and experiment around then you can get a feel for things that you can do to create shadows and accentuate lighting where desired by using reflectors, bounce cards, and gobos (basically a black card to block or absorb light).
Regarding the amount of light needed, 1000W certainly isn't essential -- it could be much less, one could use a couple candles if willing to wait long enough for the exposure. Light may not be everything, but it certainly is a contender for the top honors. Having lots of light gives you much more flexibility in setting the other exposure parameters -- aperture, ISO speed, and shutter speed.
I mentioned that I set my camera's aperture to f/13 which means that it is stopped way down and not letting much light hit the sensor. This might seem counter-intuitive, but the purpose for that and the focal length of the lens and the shooting distance is that it results in sufficient depth of field so that the entire piece will be in reasonable focus and will have a perspective comparable to what we would see if viewed directly by our eyes. When the focal length and shooting distance are too short or too long it can result in either "big nose" or "flat face" appearance. Lots of light also enables one to use the lowest ISO setting which means the least amount of noise/grain in the image.
You have a very fine camera in the Canon PowerShot 95. The things that I like the best are the optical zoom to 105 mm FL and the ability to record the RAW image data. Canon also includes software with the camera to process the RAW image data so that you do not need to buy any other software. If you are still using full auto to take pictures, I encourage you to try the more creative options and I think that you will be impressed with the things that the camera can do when you are in charge of what it does.
BTW, I'm not sure that I've ever encountered a situation where lack of knowledge got us anywhere, but that is another topic for philosophical discussion.
