This kind of artsy handwiring usually involves magnet wire. However, the project on the picture, n0t_dane's first handwiring btw, features brass tubes.

It was brass tube from a local hardware store. I forgot the exact dimensions, but they’re about 1/16 outer diameter and each tube was 36 inches long. I bent it with pliers wrapped in tape so that it doesn’t scratch. It really doesn’t matter if the tube collapses on itself, it’ll still conduct – n0t_dane.
