Liquid Bonsai
Liquid Bonsai is a private family art archive for the drawings, paintings, school projects, cards, and keepsakes that tend to outgrow the fridge but should not lose their story. It gives families a calm place to save the original work, add the context that makes it meaningful, and decide carefully how it is shared and preserved.
How It Works
A parent creates collections around a child, school year, or theme, then uploads a scan or photograph of each piece. Every artwork can retain a title, creation date, medium, tags, and the small story behind it. The gallery keeps the collection easy to browse, while an artwork view supports moving through a collection and presenting pieces in a distraction-free display mode.
What Makes It Different
The product starts from privacy and long-term care rather than from a public feed. Libraries are private by default, with owner-only access to the underlying files and metadata. When a family wants to include others, they can publish a selected, read-only gallery or invite relatives into a shared vault. Higher tiers add richer metadata, family access, and a portable JSON and ZIP export, so the archive remains useful beyond a single device or service.
