I just finished this project as a Christmas present for my daughter. I imported a picture that I had taken of her cat and then added a number of details with puffs to achieve the required shapes. I also made 8 other boxes for my nieces with various other carvings made with the CW system. I started these projects in July and just finished them in time for Christmas.

Very nice work; obviously not your very-first project!
This is the type of project that makes mine look amaturish.

No the inlays were done with a table router. My hobby has been woodworking for more than 4o years. I have made a lot of furnitue over the years and I continue to new skills including inlaying, veneering, carving with the CW system and recently intarsia. After 40 years my shop is fairly complete - but one never has enough tools. My goal is to incorporate the CW carvings and some intarsia projects into the furniture that I make my myself and relatives.

Attached are the tops of two other jewlry boxes that I made using the CW system and also with inlays.
