Girl making article in stone (5)
I believe the answer is:
janet
'girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'article in stone' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'stone' becomes 'jet' (I have seen 'Black stone ' mean 'jet' so perhaps 'stone' could also mean 'jet').
'an' going inside 'jet' is 'JANET'.
'making' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for janet that I've seen before include "Female name" , "Woman" , "academic alliance?" .)
