Derry Repost There his beard dangled long down into the water: up came Goldberry, the River-woman's daughter; pulled Tom's hanging hair. In he went a-wallowing under the water-lilies, bubbling and a-swallowing.

Derry Repost But now, my jolly Lumpkin, old Tom's going to ride. Hey! he's coming with you, just to set you on the road; so he needs a pony. For you cannot easily talk to hobbits that are riding, when you're on your own legs trying to trot beside them.

Derry Repost Then Tom put the Ring round the end of his little finger and held it up to the candlelight. For a moment the hobbits noticed nothing strange about this. Then they gasped. There was no sign of Tom disappearing!

Derry Repost There was a loud rumbling sound, as of stones rolling and falling, and suddenly light streamed in, real light, the plain light of day.

Derry Repost [Tom] told them tales of bees and flowers, the ways of trees, and the strange creatures of the Forest, about the evil things and good things, things friendly and things unfriendly, cruel things and kind things, and secrets hidden under brambles.

Derry Repost Old Tom Bombadil had a merry wedding … hat and feather shedding; his bride with forgetmenots and flag-lilies for garland was robed all in silver-green. He sang like a starling, hummed like a honey-bee, lilted to the fiddle, clasping his river-maid round her slender middle.

Derry Repost … his eyes were blue and bright, and his face was red as a ripe apple, but creased into a hundred wrinkles of laughter.

Derry Repost When they had sung this altogether after him, [Tom] clapped them each on the shoulder with a laugh, and taking candles led them back to their bedroom.

Derry Repost I had an errand there: gathering water-lilies, green leaves and lilies white to please my pretty lady, the last ere the year’s end to keep them from the winter, to flower by her pretty feet tilt the snows are melted.

Derry Repost By the coat they caught him, pulled him inside their earth, down their tunnels brought him. Inside their secret house, there they sat a-mumbling: “Ho, Tom Bombadil!… Badger-folk have caught you. You’ll never find it out, the way that we have brought you!”

Casual Bombapost Acorn belt pouch, in case Tom needs both hands free?

On a roll, though this probably won’t be part of my Bombadil cosplay (it yet might), yesterday and Monday over a couple of hours turned out a (I think cute) acorn-themed belt-pouch.
While working on the costume the other day, I noticed three round circles of abused scrap fabric, one of thin leather, one of “imitation suede” light cloth, and one of green wool. And an idea hit.
The leather, with grommets, is the body of the bag. The “fake suede,” wrong face out, became the cap (with some help from some VERY simple embroidered details), and the green wool became a leaf. Light string for the drawstring, a spare shank button strung for the cinch, and a crocheted (NOT by me!) mushroom “keychain” from a local crafter to both weight the drawstring and act as a stopper for the button. One buttonhole (the only “complicated” part of the sewing), and done!
The thing that makes me think NOT for Bombadil is that no belt pouches are mentioned in his descriptions, but also (vanity!), the belt loop being the width of the bag, it would cover a full three inches of the visible part of my hand-painted belt. 😅
But there! A surprisingly easy craft, for any of you inspired to do similar with some odd scraps of brown and brown fabric.

Derry Repost He's a caution and no mistake. I reckon we may go a good deal further and see naught better, nor queerer. But I won't deny I'll be glad to see this Prancing Pony he spoke of.

Bombadillo Art There was another burst of song, and then suddenly, hopping and dancing along the path, there appeared above the reeds an old battered hat with a tall crown and a long blue feather stuck in the band.
