Her Story
A lifelong maker
Melinda has always been a maker. From childhood she was drawn to the textures and colours of the natural world — collecting stones from creeks, driftwood from riverbanks, and pebbles smoothed by water and time.
What started as a lifelong love of crafting has grown into Stix & Pebbles — a collection of one-of-a-kind pieces that carry the energy of the earth they came from. Every piece is handmade with intention, never mass-produced, never repeated.
The Place
Irvinebank
Irvinebank is a tiny former mining town nestled in the mountains of the Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland. It's the kind of place where you can hear the creek before you see it, and the stars go on forever at night.
Philosophy
Every piece carries intention
One of a kind
No two pieces are the same — because no two stones are the same. Each creation is as unique as the materials that make it. When it's gone, it's gone.
Made with love
There's no rush, no deadline, no production line. Each piece is crafted slowly, with care and intention. Melinda makes what speaks to her — and trusts it will find the person it's meant for.
