I get nothing from Terra frit. I'm thinking you'd have the best luck by making stringer with it for decorations.

I've never had any original Terra, so I don't really know if this suggestion will help. But if it works like raku (and some of the things I read here indicate it may) then you might try rolling a warm bead in it to attach the frit, then spot heat the frit down on to the bead and cool it, that way you are only super heating the frit itself. That's what I usually do with raku frit.

The stringer thing sounds like a good idea too, especially if the frit is chunkier than you want for beads.
