Default Always with the cracking!

Errrgh...

Hi people, I've got another newbie problem. All of my beads are cracking. Almost every single bead I've made has cracked in the kiln, and it has gotten progressively worse since I started working. What am I doing wrong? I've made about seven marbles, none of which have cracked. I also threw together two really weird little figurines and one of those cracked. Am I not putting them in soon enough? I haven't heard, seen, or felt any of the beads crack before putting them into the kiln.

I use a minor torch, a Chilli-pepper, Moretti and Vetro glasses, aaaand.... that's it.

Help!

Thanks guys,
Cowboy
