Deletion with pen shaking: it's a fine art (11)
I believe the answer is:
needlepoint
'a fine art' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'deletion with pen shaking' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'shaking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'deletion'+'pen'='deletionpen'
'deletionpen' is an anagram of 'NEEDLEPOINT'.
'it's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for needlepoint that I've seen before include "lace" , "Embroidery - I needn't lope (anag)" , "Work on canvas" , "depicting feature of Isle of Wight rock?" , "Closely stitched embroidery" .)
