DIY Patinas to try!

Okay, so I haven't posted in a while, which I feel badly about, but with heading back to school I have found it a little more difficult to make time to work on jewelry.  As I'm settling in though, I am recognizing times that I can work on some of my own stuff.  SO! I thought I would take this opportunity to post about some diy patinas, that I have not tried, and then once I try them post a few pictures and how I thought they worked.  Most are fairly simple and use pretty common household products, so hooray for that!!!
