Reed beads

Whilst collecting rocks for my garden at the local stream, I was moving these dried reeds out the way when I suddenly saw that they were in fact the source of those grey beads used in traditional beading.

Intellectually, I was aware that they are seeds and come from some plant but I've not seen them in situ as it were.

I've gathered some up and may use them, although beading is not my current focus, sometimes we are given things to work with by accident. Or perhaps it's by design we can't see yet.
