Has anyone made a word clock using FastLED?

Has anyone made a word clock using FastLED?

I have been looking at a few designs and they are all overly-complex - I think an Arduino, RTC and an LED matrix should be enough. If anyone has been down this route, I would love some pointers.

Someone posted beautiful photos of their word clock here a while ago—try searching for “foil” here (it came up in the discussion.)
