A very cool discovery!

After having lino printed my material feathers I thought I'd try something out.  I soaked a piece of leather in water for about a minute, set my etching-press to a tight print and printed the kiwi feather onto the leather without any ink.  And yes, it did what I had hoped, it embossed the leather.

I certainly hope to use this for my costume project and I think it will also be very helpful with making my music merchandising for Faun.  Embossing like this is certainly a lot more practical than hand carving or burning for merchandising as it can be easily used for small-scale mass production.
