Two runners a first year Interactive Arts student gave me yesterday.
the strange thing is I drew something very similar to it on the train that morning...
I remember my mom using this type of curtain runner..they made a great noise on the metal guide rail.

More buttons...just by chance I seem to have a number of button related items.
These metal buttons are covered in material.
I think they were for undergarments?
I expect they would survive going through a mangle.
